    Directions

    To make the Vietnamese Dressing, simply mix all the ingredients together. This will keep very well in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator for at least a week.

    To make the salad, marinate the shrimp in 1/2 cup of the Vietnamese Dressing. While this is going on, soak the noodles in freshly boiled water according to packet instructions. Once re-hydrated, refresh the noodles in cold water, then drain. Put the sugar snaps and bean sprouts into a colander and pour over freshly boiled water from a kettle. Rinse them with cold water and drain well, just shaking the colander, so they're not actually wet.

    In a large bowl, mix the marinated shrimp with the drained noodles, scallions, sugar snaps, and bean sprouts. Dress with 2 tablespoons more of the Vietnamese Dressing; add more dressing, to taste, if desired.

    Sprinkle over the chopped cilantro and toss everything together well before arranging onto a large plate.

      This was so easy, light, fresh and incredibly flavourful. It will definitely be making regular appearances in my kitchen.

      Not my cup of tea. I dont know, the flavor was just not there for me, and the cold noodles just killed it for me. The worst thing is that i made this for my anniversery dinner :(
