Spicy chicken noodle salad

ingredients:

– 400 gr boneless skinless chicken breast
– 100 gr glass noodles
– 3 celery stalks, cut into small pieces
– 400 gr of cherry tomatoes, cut in half
– 3 spring onions, thinly sliced
– 7 tablespoons nam pla (thai fish sauce, I prefer the one made of anchovies
– 6 tablespoons of fresh lime juice
– 1 tablespoon of brown cane sugar
– 3 spicy chili (less if you like it less hot) or you can use grounded chili powder
– fresh cilantro (coriander)
– olive oil
– 100 gr chopped salted peanuts

preparation:

– mix 4 tablespoons fish sauce with 4 tablespoons lime juice, 1 chili pepper, 1 tablespoon brown cane sugar, coriander leaves. Put aside until sugar is resolved. It should taste salty, sweet, sour and medium hot…

– shred the chicken breasts into very small pieces

– heat some olive in a wok and fry the chicken together with 1 finely chopped chili pepper (with seeds) until well done. At the end season with 1 tablespoon of fish sauce.

– fill a large cooking pot with water, bring it to boil. Once it boils, put aside. Add the glass noodles, leave them for about 2 minutes in the hot water. Taste if they are ready.

– drain and rinse the glass noodles with cold water, they have to be cooled completely. Squeeze to remove excess water. Put them into a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 finely chopped chili pepper with seeds.

– add selery, tomatoes, onions and coriander leaves onto the glass noodles. Toss well to combine.

– add shredded chicken breast, I prefer hot chicken but cold is nice too.

– drizzle lime/fish sauce/sugar/chili mixture over the chicken breast and toss well.

– top with peanuts, extra koriander leaves and some grounded chili pepper
