Chef's tips
🥢 Noodles
Don't overcook rice noodles – they should still have a slight "bite". Rinse with cold water so they don't stick together.
🍄 Enhancement
You can enhance the recipe by adding tofu, tempeh, edamame, or carrots.
🌶️ Sauce
Tamarind paste adds depth. If you don't have it, just lime and a bit of honey will do.
💫 Ritual serving
