Typically, rice noodles need to be soaked in hot water for about 5-7 minutes until they become soft. Always refer to the package instructions for the most accurate timing.
If you're looking for a substitute for fish sauce, you can use soy sauce for a vegetarian option. Alternatively, a mixture of soy sauce with a bit of lemon juice or vinegar can work well.
While the salad can be assembled and kept in the fridge for a couple of hours, it’s best served fresh to maintain the crunchiness of the vegetables. If preparing in advance, store the dressing separately until ready to serve.
Use thin rice noodles, often labeled as vermicelli or rice sticks. They have a light and delicate texture that pairs well with the salad ingredients.
The salad is properly dressed when all the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing, giving them a glossy appearance without pooling excess dressing at the bottom of the bowl.
