  1. Prepare noodles following packet instructions. Drain well. Using scissors, cut noodles into 6cm lengths. Transfer to a large bowl.

Notes

We used Poonsin brand Vietnamese dipping sauce, which is available in the Asian section of major supermarkets. If unavailable, combine 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1 small fresh red birdseye chilli (finely chopped) in a small bowl.
