  • Preparation: 240 min
  • Cooking: 8 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (220 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium

Ingredients

  • 20 g Rice noodles, dry
  • 150 g Water
  • 25 g Sugar
  • 10 g Lime juice
  • 15 g Cherries, sour

Method

  1. Boil the rice noodles briefly until just tender, about 2-3 minutes, then drain, rinse in cold water, and cut into shorter lengths.
  2. Dissolve the sugar in the water and simmer for 5 minutes to make a syrup, then let it cool and stir in the lime juice (a stand-in for the traditional rosewater-lime syrup).
  3. Mix the noodles into the cooled syrup.
  4. Pour into a shallow container and freeze for 3-4 hours, scraping and stirring with a fork every hour so it stays slushy and granular, like a sorbet, rather than freezing into one solid block.
  5. Spoon into a glass, top with a few sour cherries, and serve icy cold.
