Ingredients

  • 1 (8 ounce) package dried cellophane (glass) noodles
  • 1 cup peanuts
  • 1 head heart of romaine lettuce, shredded
  • 1 cucumber, cut into matchsticks
  • 2 carrots, cut into matchsticks
  • 1 cup mung bean sprouts
  • 1 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 1 cup fresh mint leaves, slivered
  • ½ cup chopped green onions
  • ½ cup soy sauce, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon wasabi paste, or to taste

Cooking Directions

  1. Place noodles in a large bowl and cover with very hot water. Let stand until softened, about 15 minutes. Drain and chop into shorter lengths.
  2. Grind peanuts into a coarse, chunky meal using a food processor or mortar and pestle.
  3. Combine noodles, peanuts, lettuce, cucumber, carrots, bean sprouts, cilantro, mint, and green onions in a large bowl. Serve soy sauce and wasabi paste alongside.
Substitute 1 sweet potato for the carrots if desired; You can also serve the ingredients in separate bowls and let each person assemble his or her own noodle bowl; Though this is a traditional Vietnamese dish, I find it extremely difficult to get my hands on a good fish sauce. I've learned that, in a pinch, the soy and wasabi dressing is so much easier to keep on hand, and everyone loves it! I highly recommend each person combine the soy sauce and wasabi individually (sushi-style), as everyone has his/her own version of what proportion of wasabi they enjoy and can tolerate.
