Ingredients

4 chicken thigh fillets 

180g (6.3 oz) dried rice vermicelli noodles 

1 tbsp vegetable oil 

100g (3.5 oz) baby spinach leaves 

sliced cucumber, to serve 

finely julienned carrot, to serve 

¼ cup roasted peanuts, crushed or finely chopped 

roughly torn mint leaves, to serve 

 

Marinade: 

2 tbsp fish sauce 

1 garlic clove, finely grated 

1 tsp sugar 

½ tsp ground black pepper 

 

Nuoc cham dressing: 

3 tbsp fish sauce 

3 tbsp sugar 

2 tbsp white vinegar 

2 tbsp lime juice 

1 long red chilli, finely chopped 

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

Steps
  • Step 1

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken fillets with the marinade ingredients. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the remaining ingredients.

  • Step 2

    For the nuoc cham dressing, place the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until well combined. Set aside for later. 

  • Step 3

    Cook the noodles in boiling water for 2-3 minutes or until just cooked. Drain and rinse until cool. Divide among serving bowls.

  • Step 4

    Heat the oil on a large grill plate or in a frying pan over high heat. Add the chicken fillets and cook 3-4 minutes on the first side or until lovely and golden. Turn the fillets over and reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from heat and slice the chicken.

  • Step 5

    To serve, arrange the baby spinach, cucumber and carrot on top of the noodles. Top with chicken slices. Spoon over a generous amount of the nuoc cham dressing. Top with the crushed peanuts and mint leaves and serve.

My Daughter was in Heaven!!

Recently we moved from USA to Israel. There is no good Vietnamese food here! She use to order a dish like this back home so I made it and she was in Heaven. She will be taking this to lunch for the rest of the week. I absolutely love all your recipes.

Perfect mix of sweet, salty, tangy, and umami!

Loved this noodle dish! I’m so surprised it doesn’t have any reviews yet. The Nuoc cham dressing was the perfect mix of flavors. I thought it might be a little too concentrated at first but it really comes together once it’s mixed with the vermicelli rice noodles.

To mix it up, I stir fried the julienned carrots w/ some bok choy before mixing it into the dish. I served it with a side of baby broccoli. Next time I’ll prep more in advance to let the chicken marinate for a little longer.
