Ingredients
250g thin rice noodles
2 cooked skinless chicken breasts, shredded
½ cucumber, halved lengthwise and sliced
3 spring onions, sliced
1 red chilli, finely chopped
4 tablespoons soy or fish sauce
1 Zest and juice of 1 lime
2 teaspoons sugar
20g fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
Directions
Place the rice noodles in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Allow to soak for 5 minutes or follow the package instructions until they are tender and flexible. Drain thoroughly in a colander, then rinse under cool running water until completely cooled. Drain well again and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Add the shredded cooked chicken, sliced cucumber, spring onions, and chopped red chilli to the bowl with the noodles.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy or fish sauce, lime zest, lime juice, and sugar until the sugar dissolves completely.
Pour the dressing over the noodle mixture and toss gently but thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly. Fold in the fresh mint leaves just before serving. Divide among 4 bowls and serve immediately.
