You can use Southeast Asian rice sticks or Chinese cellophane noodles (made from bean starch) for this Thai salad. It makes a satisfying lunch, or serve it as a starter or side dish (it will serve up to 6 as a side).

Steps:
- Mix together the dressing ingredients. Taste and adjust seasonings. Place the rice or cellophane noodles in a bowl and cover with warm water. Soak for 20 minutes, and drain.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the noodles. Cook about 1 minute, or until tender. Drain well and coarsely chop using scissors. Toss with all but 2 tablespoons of the dressing.
- If using Napa cabbage, cut the halved cabbage in half again, cut out the core, then slice crosswise into thin strips. If using romaine, cut in half, then slice crosswise into thin strips. Toss with the noodles, along with the scallions, cilantro, and carrot.
- Line a platter or bowl with lettuce leaves and pile on the salad. Spoon on the remaining dressing, and serve.
