Fried rice noodles with vegetables are a classic of Asian cuisine. Depending on your taste, they can also be prepared with chicken, prawns, tofu, or scrambled eggs.
The addition of peanuts at the end is a garnish stolen from the classic Pad-Thai. They add flavour and crunchiness to the dish. Also, if you choose this vegetarian version, the peanuts will contribute to the intake of protein.
Finally, choose the vegetable you like most. A classic for this salad is green beans, courgettes, carrots, and sugar snaps.
