Here is how I compose the salad. I swirl the noodles around 2/3 of a large wide bowl or plate and then fill in the remaining space with lettuce leaves. Then I lay the vegetables on the noodles like a sunburst starting with the mint next to the lettuce then the cucumber, carrots, onion, bean sprouts, etc. working around in a circle. I sprinkle the chopped peanuts in the center. For the liquid, think of it like a dressing, start with one tablespoon and then add more if you like. I think I use about two tablespoons.

Also, I wasn't sure based on what you said, but is the final product suppose to have a lot of liquid? I'm excited to try it.Tashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841866074008965851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405293663425061257.post-80872433109544705142012-06-21T13:12:06.917-07:002012-06-21T13:12:06.917-07:00I tried to make a salad similar to this a few week...I tried to make a salad similar to this a few weeks ago following the instructions on a package of rice noodles from Trader Joe's...it did not turn out well, but this sounds much tastier AND easier. <br /><br />I'm happy your blogging again!DizzyMsLizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03568141696876768137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405293663425061257.post-31575512281751405812012-06-20T18:03:49.944-07:002012-06-20T18:03:49.944-07:00Soooo glad you're back!
