Prepare the rice vermicelli: Cover the vermicelli with boiling water, cover and leave to rest for 8-10 minutes, until they are tender and cooked. Drain them and run them under cold water to stop the cooking. Let them cool completely.

Cook the shrimp: If your shrimp are not already cooked, brown them quickly in a pan with a little oil until they turn pink and firm. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Leave to cool.

Prepare the vegetables: In a large salad bowl, mix the grated carrots, cucumber slices and bean sprouts.

Add the herbs: Stir in the mint, coriander, and Thai basil. These herbs bring a unique freshness to the salad, very typical of Vietnamese cuisine.
-
Assemble the salad: Add the cooled vermicelli and shrimp to the vegetable mixture. Mix gently to evenly distribute all the ingredients.
-
Prepare the vinaigrette: In a bowl, mix the nuoc-mâm sauce, lime juice, cane sugar, water and rice or cider vinegar. Stir well to dissolve the sugar and obtain a homogeneous sauce.

Season: Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently so that each ingredient is soaked up in this flavor-rich sauce.
