Looking for a light meal or a unique salad with some grilled vegetables? This is the perfect recipe. This recipe uses rice noodle dish with grilled vegetables and a classic Vietnamese dressing. The smoky asparagus and carrots really add a lot of flavor to this classic recipe.
Dressing:
- 1/3 cup fish sauce
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 garlic clove, minced
Mix the ingredients together in a bowl, making sure the sugar is dissolved. Set a side.
Salad:
- 8 ounces rice noodles
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch lengths
- 2 large carrots julienned
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 tablespoons roasted peanuts, chopped
Prepare the grill for medium direct grilling. Toss the carrots and asparagus with the peanut oil and place on a vegetable grill rack. Grill over direct heat for about 5 to 8 minutes, while tossing every couple minutes. Grill until vegetables are tender (5 to 8 minutes).
Prepare the rice noodles as instructed, boil for about 5 minutes. Rinse noodles under cool water and till the noodles are cool.
Put the rice noodles in a bowl and pour about half the dressing and toss to coat. You can either place the noodles on a large plate or on individual plates. Combine with the vegetables and remaining dressing. Sprinkle with mint, cilantro and peanuts. Serve immediately.
