Vietnamese Chicken Noodle Bowl Recipe
Ingredients
Meat and Marinade
- 600 - 800g chicken thigh fillets, skinless and boneless
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- stalk lemongrass , white part only (bruised then sliced into pieces easy to pick out later)
Noodle Bowl
- 1/2 tbsp oil
- 200g vermicelli noodles, dried
- 2 carrots, julienned
- 2 cucumbers julienned
- 5 cups iceberg lettuce, finely sliced
- 3 cups bean sprouts
- Handful of mint leaves
- Handful of coriander
- Sliced chilli (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (to serve)
Nuoc Cham
- 1/4 cup fish sauce
- 4 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp white sugar
- ½ cup water
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 red birdseye chilli, finely chopped
- 3 tbsp lime juice
Method
- Combine Meat and Marinade ingredients and set aside for at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours.
- Combine the Nuoc Cham ingredients and mix well to dissolve the sugar. Adjust to your taste (spiciness, lime, sweetness) and set aside.
- Soak the vermicelli noodles in hot water for 3 minutes (or according to packet instructions), then drain and rinse under cold water to stop the noodles from sticking together.
- Heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a fry pan over medium heat (or heat the BBQ). Remove chicken from marinade, shaking off large bits of lemongrass (small bits should fall off during cooking).
- Place chicken in the pan and cook each side until dark golden brown and chicken is just cooked through -‐ about 6 to 8 minutes in total. Remove from pan, shaking off any remaining bits of visible lemongrass and set aside to rest for 5 minutes. Then slice into thin pieces.
- Place noodles in bowl. Then either top or lightly toss through the vegetables and herbs, and top with chicken pieces. Drizzle with 3-‐4 tablespoons of Nuoc Cham Sauce and serve with lime wedges.
