Method

In a bowl, combine lime juice, chile sauce, soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir and set aside. Toss together cabbage, cucumber, snow pea pods, carrots and onion. Add half of noodles to salad mixture. Pour half of dressing over salad and toss gently. Arrange remaining half noodles on top of salad in a decorative swirl and drizzle with remaining dressing. Garnish with torn mint and cilantro leaves.

 

Notes: Try adding shredded chicken or pork to make a hearty main course. Can substitute rice wine vinegar for lime juice and Thai basil for cilantro.
