Everyone loves these noodle bowls and makes it a point to join us for dinner if they know they’re being served. 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. 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.
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 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
Directions
Step 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.
Step 2
Grind peanuts into a coarse, chunky meal using a food processor or mortar and pestle.
Step 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.
Tips
Substitute 1 sweet potato for the carrots if desired.
