Notes

 
✔️Variations
Herbs - for extra flavouring, try adding in freshly chopped mint leaves.
Bean sprouts can be substituted for snow pea sprouts.
Peanuts - can be substituted with roasted and salted cashews.
Maple syrup - can be substituted with coconut sugar. Adjust quantity to suit. 
Tofu - feel free to add your preferred tofu to this salad.
Sesame seeds - sprinkle this on top, a great option for additional sesame flavour.
Fresh ginger & garlic - can be grated into the dressing.
Glass noodles - if you are having trouble finding these, you can use rice vermicelli noodles instead.
💭Pro Tips
 
Glass noodles - I like to always undercook by one minute of what the instructions advise.
 
Spring onions (scallions) - cut these at a 45-degree angle for aesthetics
