Vietnamese chicken noodle salad
Preparation Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 15 minutes

Ingredients (serves 4)
3 small (about 500g) single chicken breast fillets
150g rice stick noodles
1 tbs rice vinegar
2 tbs fresh lime juice
1 tbs sweet chilli sauce
2 tsp fish sauce
2 tsp peanut oil
100g (2 cups) finely shredded Chinese cabbage
2 carrots, peeled, coarsely grated
8 green shallots, ends trimmed, thinly sliced diagonally
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup firmly packed fresh coriander leaves
Method
I'm buying a choock from the local chicken shop. It's already cooked and it's lilydale free range, can't beat that!
(Place chicken in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Place over high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer chicken to a plate. Set aside for 10 minutes to cool slightly. Coarsely shred chicken and place in a large bowl. )

Meanwhile, place noodles in a large heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Set aside for 5 minutes to soften. Stir with a fork to separate. Drain well.
Place vinegar, lime juice, sweet chilli sauce, fish sauce and oil in a screw-top jar and shake until well combined.
Add the noodles, cabbage, carrot, green shallot, mint and coriander to the chicken and gently toss to combine. Drizzle with dressing and gently toss to combine. Divide the salad among serving plates and serve immediately.
