Cilantro Pesto

2 tablespoons Fish Sauce
1 Lime, juiced
1/4 cup Peanut Oil (plus more if needed)
4 Green Onions
Take Out Noodles
6 ounces Rice Noodles
1/2 Block Firm Tofu, pressed and cubed
1/2 Bermuda Onion, chopped
1 Red, Yellow or Orange Bell Pepper, cut in matchsticks and halved, or 3 of the Sweet Baby Peppers, sliced thinly
1/2 Cabbage, chopped

4 ounces Rice Vinegar
4 ounces Water
4 tablespoons Sugar
4 tablespoons Salt

1
Combine everything in the food processor and process until combined, adding more oil if needed.
2
First, press your tofu this removes excess water. I do this by wrapping it in paper towels, sandwiching it between two plates and placing a six-pack or a chicken on top. Typically I will do this 1-2 hours in advance at least. I will also change the paper towels once during the process.
3
Boil the rice noodles. It depends on the size of the noodle you use, usually 2-4 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
4
Pickle the onions, cabbage, green beans and carrots. Do this by combining 1 ounce of the vinegar, one ounce of the water and 1 tablespoon of the salt and one tablespoon of the sugar in to 4 bowls (I actually use old jelly jars and occasionally agitate them). I put the onions in the solution for 30-60 minutes, the cabbage for 30 minutes, the carrots and the green beans for 10-20 minutes. Drain the vegetables. Do not rinse.
5
Toss the rice noodles with the pesto, add in the vegetables, the tofu, peanuts and basil toss again to combine and serve.
