2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
2 fresh long red chiles, seeded and finely diced or julienned
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh ginger
4 tablespoons fish sauce (nam pla)
1 lime, juiced
4 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons groundnut oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
8 ounces cooked small shrimp
6 ounces glass noodles

4 ounces bean sprouts
3 scallions, sliced into thin circles

1
To make the Vietnamese Dressing, simply mix all the ingredients together.
2
This will keep very well in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator for at least a week.
3
To make the salad, marinate the shrimp in 1/2 cup of the Vietnamese Dressing.
4
While this is going on, soak the noodles in freshly boiled water according to packet instructions.
5
Once re-hydrated, refresh the noodles in cold water, then drain.
6
Put the sugar snaps and bean sprouts into a colander and pour over freshly boiled water from a kettle.
7
Rinse them with cold water and drain well, just shaking the colander, so they're not actually wet.
8
In a large bowl, mix the marinated shrimp with the drained noodles, scallions, sugar snaps, and bean sprouts.
9
Dress with 2 tablespoons more of the Vietnamese Dressing; add more dressing, to taste, if desired.
10
Sprinkle over the chopped cilantro and toss everything together well before arranging onto a large plate.
