Directions
Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil.
Add rice noodles (or rice sticks) and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes.
Drain and rinse under cold water.
Gently squeeze noodles to remove most of the water.
Meanwhile, combine ¼ cup water, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar and crushed red pepper to taste in a small bowl.
Coarsely chop the noodles and combine in a large bowl with tofu, carrot, snow peas, basil and mint.
Pour the sauce over the salad and toss to combine.
To serve, spoon about ½ cup salad onto each lettuce leaf and roll up.
