The Viral Rice Paper Noodles Hack (Easy Black Vinegar Noodle Sauce)

After learning about this rice paper noodle hack, I knew I had to try it and put my spin into the sauce ! This sauce is actually one of my favorite dipping sauces to make for dumplings, and I thought it would be perfect for this hack !

What you’ll need:

Servings: 1

• 5 rice paper sheets

• 1 tsp sweetened black vinegar

• 1 tsp golden mountain seasoning sauce or soy sauce

• 1/2 tsp sesame oil

• 1 tsp chili oil of choice

• 3 beef meatballs (sliced in half)

• 1/2 cucumber sliced

• 1-2 green onion stalks (sliced)

• 1 tsp fried garlic

Instructions:

1. Start off by poaching beef meatballs in boiling water for about 3-5 minutes or until cooked though . Drain and set aside .

2. Clean, pat dry, and slice cucumber and green onions .

   -Cut cucumber into bite sized pieces

   -Chop green onions

   -Set aside

3. Fill up a large shallow pan with lukewarm water, and set aside.

4. Stack 5 sheets of rice paper on top of each other and dunk together into the pan of lukewarm water . Use your fingers to quickly push out any air pockets from underneath the water . This should take no more than 20 seconds.

5. Remove entire stacked sheet and place onto a microwave safe bowl .

6. Pour some clean water on top in the middle of the rice paper stack and microwave for 30 seconds— remove and set aside on the plate to get soft .

7. While the rice paper is softening— prepare sauce .

8. In a small mixing bowl, combine sweetened black vinegar, seasoning sauce, sesame oil, chili oil, and chopped green onions. Mix well to combine .

9. Place rice paper sheet onto a large cutting board and use your fingers to push out any air pockets . Carefully use a sharp knife to cut into noodle strands— I cut mine into about 6 large noodles .

   *I recommend cutting into 12 noodles for easier bites

10. Place noodle strands into a serving bowl and drizzle in sauce. Mix well to coat all noodles evenly .

11. Place meatballs and cucumbers on top. Followed by a sprinkle of fried garlic.

    *You can sub fried garlic with 1 small pressed garlic clove (remember it will be more intense if using fresh).

12. Enjoy right away !
