Authentic Thai Prawn Vermicelli Salad Recipe

• 200 g dried soy vermicelli
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce

• 35 g roasted unsalted peanuts
• A few coriander leaves
• 2 de-seeded and minced fresh red peppers

Place the vermicelli in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Once softened and puffed, drain and roughly chop with kitchen scissors.

Whisk the fish sauce, lime juice, and crushed garlic together for a smooth dressing.

In a large bowl, combine the noodles with dry-roasted and coarsely crushed peanuts, onions, coriander, peppers, and prawns. Drizzle with the dressing, toss gently, and serve immediately.
