Step 1
Cook the 4 oz rice vermicelli noodles in boiling water until tender, about 4-5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
Step 2
Peel the 1 medium daikon and 1 medium carrot, then shred them into thin strips using a box grater or julienne peeler.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the 2 tbsp rice vinegar and 1 tsp sugar until dissolved. Toss with the shredded daikon and carrot, let sit for 10 minutes to lightly pickle.
Step 4
Rinse the 2 cups bean sprouts and pat dry. Pick the leaves from the 0.5 cup mint and 0.5 cup cilantro, discarding thick stems.
Step 5
Combine the noodles, pickled vegetables (drain excess liquid), bean sprouts, and herbs in a large bowl. Toss gently to mix evenly.
Step 6
Serve immediately as a filling for rice paper rolls, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
