Instructions
1
Prep
Soak the glass noodles in warm water for 8 minutes until pliable and translucent, then drain well and snip into shorter lengths with scissors.
2
Heat the vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat and cook the ground pork, breaking it up, for 4 to 5 minutes until no longer pink.
3
Whisk the lime juice, fish sauce, gluten-free tamari and brown sugar in a mixing bowl until the sugar dissolves into a glossy dressing.
4
Add the drained noodles, cooked pork, shallot thinly sliced, chili thinly sliced, tomatoes, cilantro roughly chopped and scallion thinly sliced to the bowl and toss well.
5
Let the salad rest at room temperature for 10 minutes so the noodles absorb the dressing and turn glossy.
6
Plate
Pile the salad onto a plate and scatter the crushed peanuts over the top just before serving.
