Step 1

Put the noodles in a large bowl and cover with boiling-hot water; let stand 3 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Drain the noodles very well, then transfer them to a large mixing bowl and use kitchen shears to snip the noodles a handful of times.

Step 2

Add the carrots, bean sprouts, parsley, basil, mint, cucumber and romaine to the bowl with the noodles. Add the Peanut Dressing and toss to coat the noodles and vegetables. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the chopped peanuts.

Step 3

Whisk together the peanut butter, lime juice, honey, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, sambal oelek, ginger and garlic in a small bowl. Thin out with a little water until a nice spoonable consistency.
