Ingredients
Method
Place rice vermicelli in large heatproof bowl; add boiling water to cover. Let stand until tender, about 5 minutes; drain.
Divide lettuce among 4 serving bowls; top with rice vermicelli, cilantro, mint, basil, green onions, cucumbers and peanuts. Spoon Soy Dipping Sauce over; sprinkle with more peanuts, if desired, and shallots (if using).
Test Kitchen Tip #1: If you aren’t eating the rice vermicelli right away, rinse the noodles under cold water; drain and toss with 1 tsp canola oil.
Test Kitchen Tip #2: We discovered that Thai shallots, sometimes called Thai red onions, added a bit of oomph to this region’s recipes. Thai shallots are smaller than standard shallots and have a stronger flavour.
