Ingredients
- thin rice noodles (vermicelli) - 180 g
- chicken breast - 300 g
- cucumber - 1 piece
- carrot - 1 piece
- bell pepper czerwona - 0.5 pieces
- chives or spring onion - 3 tablespoons
- fresh coriander - 3 tablespoons
- lime juice - 4 tablespoons
- fish sauce rybny - 2.5 tablespoons
- sugar - 2 teaspoons
- chili pepper - 1 piece
- garlic - 1 clove
- oil roślinny - 1 tablespoon
- salt - 0.25 teaspoons
- black pepper - 0.25 teaspoons
Main Ingredient:
rice noodles
Preparation
- Pour hot water over the rice noodles and set aside for 5–7 minutes (or according to the package instructions), until they soften. Drain in a sieve and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Leave to drain.
- Cut the chicken into thin strips. Season with salt and pepper and mix.
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and fry for 6–8 minutes, stirring, until the pieces are cooked through and lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
- Halve the cucumber lengthwise, scoop out the soft seedy center with a teaspoon, and slice the firmer part into thin half-moons. Peel the carrot and cut into thin matchsticks or grate on a coarse grater. Cut the bell pepper into thin strips.
- Prepare the dressing: in a small bowl, mix the lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, chopped chili, and grated garlic. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- In a large bowl, place the rice noodles, cooled chicken, cucumber, carrot, bell pepper, chives, and coriander.
- Pour over the prepared dressing and gently but thoroughly toss with your hands or tongs so the noodles and vegetables are well coated.
- Let the salad sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes so the flavors meld. Before serving, toss again and, if needed, adjust the seasoning with extra lime juice or fish sauce.
