TANGY PORK NOODLE SALAD WITH LIME AND LOTS OF HERBS
This light, bright salad, full of lettuce, leafy herbs and silky rice noodles, is seasoned with just enough ground pork to add richness without weighing it down. The fish sauce and citrus juices make it intense and tangy, while the honey softens its gingery bite. This salad is best served when freshly made and still very crisp, but won't suffer much from sitting out for an hour or two.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk together lime zest and juice, orange juice, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, honey and a small pinch of salt. Pour half of the mixture into a large bowl and whisk in 3 tablespoons grapeseed oil and the shallots. Set both mixtures aside.
- Cook noodles in salted water and according to package directions. Rinse under running water to remove any excess starch, then drain well and add to bowl with shallots, tossing well. Set aside while preparing remaining ingredients.
- Heat remaining 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, ginger and chile, and cook until lightly golden and aromatic, about 1 minute. Add pork and stir, breaking up pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook without stirring too often, until browned, about 8 minutes. Pour in lime juice mixture from the small bowl. Simmer gently until most of the liquid is evaporated, stirring to coat pork in the glaze, another 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Add pork, cucumbers, scallions, cherry tomatoes, bean sprouts and herbs to the noodles and toss well to combine. Taste and add more fish sauce, lime juice or both. Just before serving, toss in lettuce, and serve sprinkled with red-pepper flakes with lime wedges on the side.

Tips:
- Choose the right noodles: Rice noodles are a classic choice for this dish, but you can also use other types of noodles, such as ramen noodles or soba noodles.
- Cook the noodles according to the package instructions: Be sure not to overcook the noodles, or they will become mushy.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made several hours in advance, so you can have it ready when you're ready to assemble the salad.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, and mint, add a lot of flavor to this dish. If you can't find fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but they will not have as much flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: This recipe is a great starting point, but you can adjust it to your own taste. For example, you can add more or less chili peppers, or you can use a different type of vinegar.

Tangy Pork Noodle Salad with Lime and Lots of Herbs is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
