Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the rice noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually about 4-5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool them down. Set aside.
In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the prawns to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool.
Julienne the cucumber, carrot, and red bell pepper into thin strips. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to create the dressing. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Add the cooked rice noodles, prawns, and chopped cilantro and mint to the mixing bowl with the vegetables. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or individual plates. Sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts and sliced red chili on top for added crunch and heat.
Serve immediately and enjoy this fresh, zesty prawn noodle salad!
