Donal's Notes

For something a little light but with all the sweet, spicy & salty kicks, things I love about Vietnamese food, a salad which makes a great lunchbox filler or a light weeknight supper. Traditional, it is not, but this recipe borrows from some Asian pantry staples to create a slippery noodle dish that is veggie packed and incredibly satisfying. The crunch of both peanuts and crispy shallots are essential here to make the whole dish feel more-ish.
