Making this noodle requires quite a number of ingredients, however, the cooking method is very simple. It is quick to make this kind of noodle salad and you’ll get a very healthy meal.
This noodle is refreshing with the juiciness and crunchiness of bell peppers. The flavours of lemon grass, lemon juice and cilantro are strong with the mild sour taste. At first bite, it turned a bit sour for my taste, but the more I ate, the more I liked the taste.
