Thai Noodle Salad Recipe

Bring pot of water to boil. Remove from heat, add noodles, pepper and carrots. Let stand until noodles are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, and transfer to a bowl to cool.

Place lime/lemon juice, soy sauce and sugar in a bowl, whisk until sugar has dissolved.

In food processor, combine peanuts, ginger, chilies and most of the cilantro; pulse until finely chopped. Add peanut mixture to noodles and toss to mix. Add sugar mixture and toss again. Garnish with remaining cilantro leaves.

(you can get been thread noodles mail-order from the Oriental Pantry (Acton, MA) if you can't find them locally)
