4 servings

A light salad in every sense of the word, you don't even have to go near the stove: to soften thin rice noodles, or funchose, slightly but remain firm, just pour boiling water over them. The main thing in this basic recipe is precisely this balance of firmness, tenderness, and spiciness. And everyone can interpret the salad's plot in their own way: shrimp or tofu, radish, and fresh cucumber, cut into thin strips, will look great in it. By the way, shrimp and tofu can be marinated in the sauce for a few minutes before adding to the salad. If the dressing seems too salty, just reduce the amount of fish sauce.
