Method

Cook rice noodles in boiling water until al dente, drain, refresh in cold water, and snip into shorter lengths.

Scoop out cucumber seeds, slice thinly on the diagonal, and place in a large bowl.

Add crayfish, pepper, beansprouts, onions, carrot, chilli, herbs, ginger, garlic, and noodles to the bowl.

Season with salt and pepper, then toss all salad ingredients together.

Mix fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, and sesame oil in a small bowl to create the dressing.

Pour dressing over the salad just before serving and toss again.

Scatter with chopped peanuts if desired.
