Instructions
- 1
Combine the rinsed lentils, 2 1/2 cups water, and 1/2 tsp salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a gentle simmer and cook, uncovered, until the lentils are just tender but still hold their shape, 18–22 minutes. Drain any excess water and set aside.

While the lentils cook, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the rice noodles and cook according to package directions until tender but still slightly firm, about 4–6 minutes. Drain in a colander, rinse briefly under cold water to stop cooking, and toss with a small drizzle of neutral oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
