Ingredients
  

For dressing

  • ¼ cup lime juice from 2-3 limes, or bottled juice
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • 3 tablespoons fish sauce or more
  • 1½ tablespoons coconut sugar or regular sugar
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red chili pepper or more

For salad

  • 3½ ounces mung bean vermicelli noodles dry
  • ½ pound ground chicken
  • ¼ red onion very thinly sliced
  • 8 cherry tomatoes halved
  • ½ carrot julienned
  • ½ cucumber thinly sliced

Toppings (optional)

  • Cilantro leaves
  • Roasted white sesame

Instructions
 

  • Fill a large bowl with boiled or very hot water. Let the glass noodles soak for about 10 minutes or until slightly undercooked. Drain well. Cut shorter with scissors if necessary, just to the point where it’ll be easier to eat.
  • While soaking the noodles, cook the chicken. Fill a small frying pan with water and bring to a boil. Add the chicken, and boil until fully cooked. Separate out the meat with a spoon as you cook. Use a strainer or a slotted spoon to drain.
  • To make the dressing, combine the lime juice, garlic, fish sauce, sugar, and crushed red chili together in a bowl.
  • In a large bowl, place the cooked noodles, red onion, cherry tomatoes, carrots, cucumber, and cooked chicken. Drizzle the dressing and toss well.
  • Garnish with cilantro, sesame (optional).
