We modified a traditional Cambodian Spicy Lime Sauce recipe by using our A Taste of Thai Garlic Chili Pepper Sauce. Our gluten free Rice Noodles make a refreshing cold salad.

Time

  • 30 minutes to assemble

Yield

  • 6 cups

Directions

  1. Put a large pot of salted water on to boil.
  2. Meanwhile, make sauce by adding Garlic Chili Pepper Sauce, water, lime juice, sugar and fish sauce to a large bowl. Whisk until sugar is dissolved and set aside.
  3. Boil noodles according to bag directions. Adding carrots, onions and celery to boiling water in the last 30 seconds of cooking time. Drain and rinse well in cold water until no longer hot. Drain well and pour into bowl with dressing. Toss until well mixed.
  4. Add cucumber and mint. Mix until combined. Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with chopped peanuts before serving, if desired.
  5. TEST KITCHEN TIP: This sauce is customarily used as a dipping sauce (for meats or spring rolls) and to dress noodles. Cold rice noodles are always best served within the first 2 days they are made.
