Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by boiling a pot of water on high heat. Once boiling, add the rice noodles and cook according to package directions, about 3-5 minutes, until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together freshly grated ginger, lime juice, soy sauce or tamari, honey, and sesame oil. Mix until well combined and the honey is dissolved. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  3. Slice the cucumber and bell peppers into thin strips. Grate the carrot, chop green onions, and roughly chop cilantro and mint.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained noodles, chopped vegetables, and herbs. Toss gently to mix without breaking the noodles.
  5. Pour the ginger-lime dressing over the noodle and vegetable mixture. Toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
  6. Sprinkle crushed peanuts on top for added crunch. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors.
