Mixed Herbs

Instructions
- Bring the water to a boil and cook the mung bean or cellophane noodles until al dente. Transfer the noodles to an ice water bath to cool, then drain and chill in the fridge. Combine all the herbs and slice them thinly. Chill the herbs in the fridge as well.
- Prepare the Fish Sauce Dressing by combining all the ingredients (except for the garlic chili sauce and lime juice) in a saucepan. Simmer over low heat until the mixture thickens slightly. Add the cornstarch mixture to further thicken the dressing. Strain the dressing to remove the lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves. Stir in the garlic chili sauce and lime juice, then chill the dressing in the fridge.
- To assemble the crab noodles, combine the noodles, crab meat, carrots, and mixed herbs in a bowl. Toss gently to combine. Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and drizzle with the Fish Sauce Dressing and a squirt of lime juice. Top the crab noodles with fried shallot crisps and garnish with cilantro or mint leaves. Serve cold.
