Instructions:

To make our delicious Rice Noodle Salad with Mixed Seafood, start by cooking the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse the noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process and prevent them from sticking together. Set aside.

Next, prepare the seafood by boiling the shrimp, squid, mussels, and crab meat in a large pot of salted water until cooked through. This should only take a few minutes, as seafood cooks quickly. Once cooked, remove the seafood from the pot and set aside to cool.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice noodles, cucumber, carrot, mint leaves, cilantro leaves, peanuts, and fried shallots. Toss the ingredients together to evenly distribute them throughout the salad.

In a small bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, sugar, garlic, chili, and lime juice to make the dressing for the salad. Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more sugar or lime juice if desired.

Once the dressing is ready, pour it over the salad and toss everything together until well combined. Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more fish sauce or lime juice if desired.

Finally, top the salad with the cooked seafood, arranging it on top of the noodles and vegetables. Garnish with additional herbs, peanuts, and fried shallots for an extra burst of flavor and texture.
