INSTRUCTIONS - recipe adapted from here

  1. Cook the noodles. Cook the noodles al dente according to package instructions, then drain. (If the noodles finish early and you don’t want them to stick together, drizzle a bit of sesame oil on the noodles and briefly toss until coated.)

  2. Prep the sauce. Meanwhile, combine the warm water and honey in a small bowl and whisk until the honey has dissolved. Add in the lime, fish sauce, garlic and chile and whisk until combined. Set aside.

  3. Assemble the bowls. In large serving bowls, add the noodles, topped with your protein, veggies and herbs. Top with your desired garnishes.

  4. Serve. Then serve warm, drizzled with sauce & garnished
