nutty rice noodles with gingery coconut yogurt sauce

This recipe is a riff on homemade rice noodles that was such a production growing up. The anticipation was every bit a part of the overall enjoyment. Ground rice was blended with water and cooked into a tight dough. Shaped into balls, they were first steamed and then pressed through a specialty noodle maker to produce the softest and the most delicious fresh rice noodles. The dish was served either with a coconut chutney or a yogurt-based sauce with a few pappadums. Pure heaven! <br />Although not quite the same as the original, I came up with a happy compromise using store-bought white or brown rice noodles. A certain magic is created when slippery noodles are dunked in the tart sauce offering a bit of crunch, soft bite and a gush of creamy spice. Serve with a crisp salad of shredded red cabbage, carrots and scallions dressed in sesame seed oil and lime juice.
