Tap a step once you've finished it.

1. Soak the glass noodles in lukewarm water for 10 minutes, then boil in boiling water for 1 minute, drain, and cut shorter with scissors. ⏱ Timer: 10 min
2. Cook the prawns in the same water for 2 minutes, then remove. If using minced meat, cook it in 200-300 ml water, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes, then drain. ⏱ Timer: 2 min
3. For the dressing, mix the lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, chilli and garlic.
4. In a bowl, toss the still-warm noodles with the prawns, meat and dressing, so the noodles soak up the flavours.
5. Add the red onion, celery, tomato, spring onion and coriander, and toss together.
6. Sprinkle with roasted peanuts, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips

• Mix the noodles with the dressing while still warm, so they absorb it better.
• Can also be made with squid, or just tofu and mushrooms.
