Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a pot of water to a rapid boil. Once boiling, add the rice vermicelli noodles and cook according to package instructions, typically 3-5 minutes.
 - While the noodles cool, slice the carrots into thin matchsticks, julienne the bell peppers, chop the cucumber into bite-sized pieces, and chop the green onions.
 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded carrots, bell peppers, cucumber, and bean sprouts. Fold in the cilantro, mint, and green onions.
 - Add the cooled noodles to the mixed vegetables and toss gently to combine.
 - In a smaller bowl, whisk together the ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, honey or agave syrup, sesame oil, and chili sauce.
 - Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat all ingredients.
 - Transfer the salad to a serving platter and sprinkle with crushed peanuts, if desired.
