RICE NOODLE BOWLS WITH SWEET CHILI CHICKEN



Rice Noodle Bowls with Sweet Chili Chicken image

One of my favorite Vietnamese dishes is bun thịt nuong, which consists of cold or room temperature rice vermicelli topped with grilled pork and pickled and fresh vegetables. When I can't get to my favorite Vietnamese restaurant, I make this easy and tasty riff at home. It's layered with incredible flavor, which comes from sweet and tangy stir-fried chicken, aromatic basil and the best-ever quick pickles. Don't have the rice noodles? Swap in your favorite grain, pasta or spiralized vegetable.

8 ounces rice noodles
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 Persian cucumber, thinly sliced

1/2 jalapeno, very thinly sliced
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 1/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
Sweet or Thai basil leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil, then add a small handful of salt. Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water. Add 1 tablespoon of the canola oil and toss to coat.
  • While the noodles cook, in a medium bowl, mix the cucumber, onion and jalapeno with the 1/4 cup rice vinegar and a generous pinch of salt. Let stand for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

In a large cast-iron skillet or wok, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chili sauce mixture and cook until the chicken is glazed, about 2 minutes.
  • Transfer the noodles to bowls and top with the chicken. Serve with the pickled vegetables and basil leaves.

SWEET CHILI CHICKEN WITH RICE



Sweet Chili Chicken With Rice image

This is a super simple meal that has wonderful flavour and can either be made for a main meal or as a light meal depending on the amount of rice cooked. As we are trying not to eat too many carbs at the moment and this was for a main meal I served ours with less rice and some sauced bok choy which paired really well. As you can only buy lemon grass in such large quantities here I have found a brand that is already made into a paste. I used to always use fresh but ended up throwing half of it away before I could use it, so I asked at my local Asian grocery store once what she had and she told me about the paste. It tastes just as good but to me it is more concentrated than fresh so I used 1 Teaspoon in this recipe, I would use 1 Tablespoon if using fresh.
