Handful of fresh mint chopped

Handful fresh coriander chopped

For the dressing smash the garlic with the salt until a forms a paste.  Add the ginger, mint, lime juice, 5 spice, rice wine vinegar, fish sauce, sugar, sweet chilli sauce and mix well.

 

Boil the kettle then soak the noodles in the water for 4 minutes.  Drain then rinse with cold water to cool the noodles.
