Shrimp and Rice Noodle Salad

Name: Shrimp and Rice Noodle Salad
Prep time: 30 min
Cook time: 5 min
Total time: 35 min
Cuisine: Asian, Vietnamese
Ingredients: 100 g Rice Vermicelli; 300 g Shrimp (peeled and deveined); 100 g Carrots (julienned); 150 g Cucumber (julienned); 100 g Bean Sprouts (trimmed); 15 g Fresh Mint (leaves picked); 15 g Coriander Leaf (leaves picked); 45 ml Water; 45 ml Lime Juice; 30 ml Fish Sauce; 20 g Granulated Sugar; 1 clove Garlic (finely grated); 1 piece Green Chili (finely sliced)

Poached shrimp, rice vermicelli, carrot, cucumber, bean sprouts and herbs in a lime and fish sauce dressing. Dress just before eating or the herbs wilt.

The dressing is a nuoc cham: lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, garlic and chili. Taste it once the sugar has dissolved: if it is flat, squeeze in more lime; if it is too sharp, stir in a pinch more sugar. Rice vermicelli goes soft fast, so pull it from the water as soon as it is tender and rinse it cold at once; the rinse also keeps the strands from clumping. Cut the carrot and cucumber into thin matchsticks so they pick up the dressing and mix evenly through the noodles.
