Free Recipe · Thermomix Main Meals
Fresh, light and full of flavour: the noodles and prawns steam together on your mat, then get tossed through crunchy veg, lime and mint.
Fresh, delicious and oh-so-easy, this recipe will become your go-to. Who needs expensive take-out with all the dubious ingredients when you can whip up this tasty salad while you're in the shower, washing the dishes, or even relaxing with a glass of wine? It's light and zingy, but the steamed noodles and prawns make it properly satisfying too.
For this one you'll need our Silicone Steaming Mat for Varoma, one of our most popular accessories. It lets you do far more than plain steaming in your Varoma: you can cook entire dishes on it, just like this rice noodle salad. You'll be using your Thermomix steaming function more often, eating healthier and homemade. Once you've got one, you'll wonder how you ever steamed without it.

Method
Fill TC bowl with 600g room temperature water. Place the lid on, then the steaming tray on top.
Position the Silicone Steaming Mat onto the upper steaming tray. Lay the noodles on the Mat, keeping them as flat as possible, then load on the prawns, chilli, coconut sugar, fish sauce, Flavour Bomb Salt and water. Steam 20 min / Varoma / speed 4.
Using a fork, flip over the 'nests' of vermicelli, letting the top side soak up the liquid on the Mat. Put the Varoma lid back on and stand for 10 minutes.
Transfer the noodle mixture to a large serving bowl. Add the carrot, cucumber, lime juice and mint and mix to combine, using a fork to separate the noodles if needed.
To serve
Garnish with fried shallots. Delicious served warm straight away, but just as good (if not better) chilled straight from the fridge the next day, which makes it a brilliant make-ahead lunch.
