Ingredients
Scale
- 200g rice noodles
- 300g cooked prawns, peeled and deveined
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- 1 carrot, grated
- 2 spring onions, chopped
- 1 handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 handful of fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1 red chili, finely chopped (optional, for heat)
- Juice of 2 limes
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Boil a large pot of water. Add the rice noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually 4-6 minutes) until tender but al dente.
- Drain the noodles in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop cooking and remove excess starch. Set aside in a large mixing bowl, drizzling with a little sesame oil to prevent sticking.
- In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), and sesame oil until well combined. Adjust sweetness or tanginess to taste, adding more honey or lime juice as desired. Add chopped red chili for heat if desired.
- In the bowl with the noodles, add cooked prawns, diced mango, sliced red bell pepper, julienned cucumber, grated carrot, and chopped spring onions.
- Pour the dressing over the mixture and gently toss with tongs or forks until well coated, being careful not to break the noodles.
- Add chopped cilantro and mint leaves, tossing gently to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper to taste, keeping in mind the saltiness of the fish sauce.
- Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added crunch.
- Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual bowls. For best flavor, chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional herbs or lime wedges if desired.
