  1. Soak the noodles in a bowl of warm water until pliable, about 30 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, in a mortar, pound the sugar with the garlic and crushed red pepper to a fine paste. Stir in the fish sauce, water, lime juice and vinegar.

  3. Using kitchen shears, snip the underside of the lobster tails down the center and remove the meat in 1 piece. Cut the tail meat in half lengthwise and remove the intestinal veins. Crack the claws with a mallet and remove the meat, then chop it into 1/2-inch pieces.

  4. Drain the rice noodles and cook them in a large pot of boiling water until al dente, about 2 minutes, then drain. Return the noodles to the pot and add cold water to cover. Drain again and transfer the noodles to a large bowl.

  5. Add the lobster claw meat, cucumber, cilantro and basil to the noodles. Add the dressing and toss well. Mound the noodles on 4 large plates and top each with 2 lobster tail halves. Garnish with lime wedges and serve.
