Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
SAUCE PREP: Pulse the sauce ingredients together in a blender or food processor.
NOODLE PREP: Cook your rice noodles by soaking them in cold water for about 30 minutes. When they're softened, transfer to a pot of boiling water for just a minute or two before quickly draining again. *This is my preferred method because it prevents them from getting overly sticky.*
VEG PREP: Mince the herbs, slice the serranos, and peel or julienne cut the vegetables.
BOWL PREP: Toss the noodles (hot or cold! your choice, friend) with the sweet garlic lime sauce and all the other ingredients.

NOTES
7 OUNCES OF RICE NOODLES WAS JUST ABOUT PERFECT FOR THIS AMOUNT OF SAUCE! :D (that's half a box)

Fish sauce smells bad. Don't sniff it, and/or don't be deterred when you inevitably sniff it on accident. It is SO delicious with all those other flavors and there is really no good substitute unless you make your own vegan-type-fish-sauce.

Nutrition facts are for 4 servings including sauce and 7 ounces rice noodles. I didn't add any other ingredients because it will depend on what you make it with.
