Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to package instructions, usually around 4-6 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded carrots, sliced bell peppers, cucumber, bean sprouts, cilantro, mint, and green onions, and toss gently.
  4. Add the cooled rice vermicelli noodles to the bowl and gently toss to mix without breaking them apart.
  5. Whisk together the grated fresh ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey or agave syrup, sesame oil, and chili sauce in a small bowl.
  6. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients.
  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 15 minutes. Toss again before serving and optional garnish with crushed peanuts.
