Place the noodles in a large bowl and cover with enough boiling hot water that the noodles are fully submerged. Soak the noodles for 10 minutes, drain, and rinse thoroughly with cold water.
Meanwhile, prepare the dressing. Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk well to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Add the rehydrated noodles to a large bowl and toss thoroughly with the ¾ of the dressing until all the noodles are coated. Add the carrots, onion, cilantro, cucumber, bell peppers, and basil to the bowl along with the rest of the dressing and continue to toss until well combined
Serve immediately with roasted peanuts, fresh basil, and a side of lime wedges. ENJOY!
