Ingredients

  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1/4 C agave
  • 1/4 C fish sauce
  • 1/3 C lime juice
  • 1/3 C vegetable oil
  • rice noodles
  • fresh basil, mint and cilantro, for serving
  • serrano peppers, for serving
  • chopped peanuts, for serving
  • avocado, for serving
  • veggies (carrots, bell peppers and cucumbers)
  • protein (shrimp, tofu or chicken)

Instructions

  1. SAUCE PREP: Pulse the sauce ingredients together in a blender or food processor.
  2. NOODLE PREP: Cook your rice noodles by soaking them in cold water for about 30 minutes. When they’re softened, transfer to a pot of boiling water for just a minute or two before quickly draining again. This is my preferred method because it prevents them from getting overly sticky.
  3. VEG PREP: Mince the herbs, slice the serranos, and peel or julienne cut the vegetables.
  4. BOWL PREP: Toss the noodles (hot or cold! your choice, friend) with the sweet garlic lime sauce and all the other ingredients.
