Preparation:
- The first thing we will do is prepare a vinaigrette by crushing the garlic and chili in a mortar
- Add the sugar, lime juice and fish sauce. NOTE: you can lighten with a little water
- Then hydrate the noodles according to the instructions of the brand you buy (usually 5 or 10 minutes in warm water)
- Drain them and make a few cuts with scissors to make them easier to handle
- Then distribute the noodles in the container where you are going to serve the salad
- Add the rest of the chopped ingredients and, finally, add the vinaigrette and mix well
- You can serve on banana leaves or lettuce and decorate with coriander.
Note: Modify the vinaigrette to taste and always add it at the last moment.
