How To Make rice noodles with thai basil, mint and peanuts

Step 1

In a non-reactive bowl, whisk the rice vinegar and sugar together. Add the shallots and toss to coat. Let stand at least 30 minutes but up to 4 hours. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of the soaking liquid.

Step 2

In a large pot of boiling water, cook the rice noodles until al dente, about 2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Drain well.
Step 3

In a small non-reactive bowl, whisk together the lime juice, coconut oil and fresh minced red jalapeno/Thai pepper. Stir in the mint and Thai basil.
Step 4

Cut the cooked noodles into 3-4" long sections. Add a small amount of the noodles to a serving bowl and toss with the reserved vinegar/onion liquid. Add the remaining noodles, cucumber, fresh tomatoes, green onions and marinated onions.
Step 5

Drizzle the lime juice mixture over the rice noodles and toss gently. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with the roasted peanuts.
