Method :
-
First, beat the rice vinegar and sugar
together, and pour the mixture over the finely sliced onion rings. Allow
to marinate for 1 hour, tossing frequently.
-
Cook noodles according to package
directions (usually, rice noodles need only to soak in boiling water for
5 minutes, otherwise, boil for 1 - 2 minutes then drain immediately, and
rinse under cold water)
-
Cut off the tough stalk of the asparagus
in salted water for 2 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Rinse
in cold water to refresh.
-
Toss the noodles with the reserved
onion-and-vinegar mixture while still warm. Using kitchen scissors, cut
the noodles into manageable lengths.
-
To the noodles, add the cooked asparagus,
chopped mint, coriander leaves, cucumber, green onions (scallions)
tomatoes and roasted peanuts. Toss thoroughly.
-
Whisk the lime juice, fish sauce, oil and
chili flakes together and drizzle over the noodle salad. Serve at room
temperature.
