2 cups beansprouts

2 cucumbers (, julienned)

2 cups mint leaves

2 cups coriander/cilantro sprigs ((sub with chives + extra mint))

3 birds eye red chilli (, finely sliced (optional))

¼ cup roasted peanuts (, finely chopped (recommended))

2 tbsp natural peanut butter (, smooth (ie not sweetened) - Note 2)

2 tbsp hoisin

2 tbsp lime juice (, sub rice vinegar)

⅓ cup LOW FAT coconut milk ((Note 3))

1 large garlic clove (, finely grated)

1 tsp+ sambal oelak ((or other chilli sauce/paste of choice), can omit (adj to taste))

1 tsp dark soy ((Note 4))

1 tsp white sugar

½ tsp cooking salt / kosher salt

2 medium carrots (, peeled cut into 2 mm / ⅒″ batons)

½ large white radish (daikon) (, peeled, cut the same as carrots)

1 ½ cups boiling water

½ cup white sugar

4 tsp cooking salt / kosher salt

¾ cup rice wine vinegar ((sub apple cider vinegar))

Pickle first - Put the boiling water, salt and sugar in a bowl. Mix to to dissolve, then add vinegar. Submerge vegetables and leave for 2 hours. Drain then use per recipe (or store in fridge submerged in liquid).
Peanut sauce - Mix the peanut sauce ingredients and set aside for the flavours to meld while you prepare the platter. Start with 1 tbsp lime juice and add more if you want tarter.
Prawns (shrimp) - Cut the prawns in half horizontally and remove the vein.
Noodles - Soak the noodles in boiling water per packet directions. Rinse under cold water (to prevent stickiness) then drain very well.
Lay it all out - Pile everything onto a giant platter or put things in little bowls, then let everybody help themselves!
Assemble - Here's my order: lettuce leaf, noodles first, then veg* (carrots, bean sprouts etc), prawns, stuff herbs down the side, drizzle with sauce, sprinkle with peanuts and chilli. Bundle and bite!
