Indian Rice Stick Salad

1 cup of rice sticks soaked in boiling water for about 15 minutes
Juice of 1 lemon (I use meyer lemon, they are more flavorful and juicier)
1/2 – 1 tsp of mustard seeds
1 dried hot red pepper
1 pinch of asafoetida (can be easily omitted)
1/8tsp of turmeric
a bunch of curry leaves (can be omitted)
a few cilantro leaves finely minced for garnish.

Directions ::..

After the rice sticks have softened, transfer the rice sticks to a colander and drain the water completely. Heat a small pan, spray with a little oil/Pam

if you like and add the mustard seeds and asafoetida. When the mustard seeds start to splutter, add the turmeric and the dried red hot pepper. As soon as the pepper turns a shade darker, add the curry leaves, give the mixture a good stir and add to the rice sticks. Add the salt and lemon juice to the

rice sticks and gently toss the entire salad together. Garnish with cilantro and serve. The dish can also be garnished with a few crushed peanuts, if you desire.
