Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce I used Blue Dragon
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp fish sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp vegetal oil
  • 6 oz rice noodles
  • 1 small cucumber
  • 2 medium carrots
  • 2 radishes, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 head purple cabbage, shredded
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey
  • handful of fresh mint, chopped
  • 1/2 cup edamame, cooked
  • 1 bell pepper, cut into thin strips

Equipment

  • 1 skillet
  • 1 saucepan

Method
 

  1. Cook the chicken. Season the chicken with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. In a small bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce and garlic.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Pour in the sweet chili mixture and stir to coat the chicken. Cover and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  3. Prepare the noodles. Cook the rice noodles according to the packet instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water, then divide among four bowls.
  4. Dress the vegetables. Combine the cucumber, carrots, radishes, edamame, bell pepper strips, and cabbage. Stir together the rice vinegar and honey, pour over the vegetables and toss to combine.
  5. Build the bowls. Divide the vegetables among the bowls and top with the glazed chicken and any sauce remaining in the pan. Scatter with fresh mint and finish with a squeeze of lime.

Notes

The Culinary Chase’s Note: Rather than tossing the vegetables together, I arranged them separately over the noodles. I love seeing all those colours in the bowl. A final drizzle of sweet chili sauce just before serving brings everything together. Enjoy!
