To make the Vietnamese Dressing, simply mix all the ingredients together. This will keep very well in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator for at least a week.
Salad:
To make the salad, marinate the shrimp in 1/2 cup of the Vietnamese Dressing. While this is going on, soak the noodles in freshly boiled water according to packet instructions. Once re-hydrated, refresh the noodles in cold water, then drain. Put the sugar snaps and bean sprouts into a colander and pour over freshly boiled water from a kettle. Rinse them with cold water and drain well, just shaking the colander, so they're not actually wet.
In a large bowl, mix the marinated shrimp with the drained noodles, scallions, sugar snaps, and bean sprouts. Dress with 2 tablespoons more of the Vietnamese Dressing; add more dressing, to taste, if desired.
Sprinkle over the chopped cilantro and toss everything together well before arranging onto a large plate.

Recipe taken from Nigella Lawson's new cookbook FEAST
This dish is not Thai,this is exactly a vietnamese because i'm a vietnamese when i just see this dish i realize this's my vietnamese food,not only you guys will mistake between vietnamese food and Thai food.If you never been to vietnamese so don't say this's not vietnamese food
I guess you would assume that if you have never been to Vietnam. This is indeed also a Thai dish but is Vietnamese. There is not alot of distance between these countries and with that some similarities between their cuisines.
