Directions
Boil Rice Noodles in salted water according to directions. Watch times carefully. Noodles are done when they're al dente, firm but tender.
Immediately drain. Rinse in cold water and drain again.
Place noodles in a large bowl and toss with sesame oil. Add the cucumber, cabbage and onion. Mix well. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, mix together brown sugar, vinegar, water, salt and ginger. Bring just to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat. Remove ginger and discard.
Pour the hot dressing over the noodles and vegetables. Mix well. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes, tossing occasionally. Serve.
