RICE NOODLE BOWLS WITH SWEET CHILI CHICKEN



Rice Noodle Bowls with Sweet Chili Chicken image

One of my favorite Vietnamese dishes is bun thịt nuong, which consists of cold or room temperature rice vermicelli topped with grilled pork and pickled and fresh vegetables. When I can't get to my favorite Vietnamese restaurant, I make this easy and tasty riff at home. It's layered with incredible flavor, which comes from sweet and tangy stir-fried chicken, aromatic basil and the best-ever quick pickles. Don't have the rice noodles? Swap in your favorite grain, pasta or spiralized vegetable.

SWEET CHILI CHICKEN WITH RICE



Sweet Chili Chicken With Rice image

This is a super simple meal that has wonderful flavour and can either be made for a main meal or as a light meal depending on the amount of rice cooked. As we are trying not to eat too many carbs at the moment and this was for a main meal I served ours with less rice and some sauced bok choy which paired really well. As you can only buy lemon grass in such large quantities here I have found a brand that is already made into a paste. I used to always use fresh but ended up throwing half of it away before I could use it, so I asked at my local Asian grocery store once what she had and she told me about the paste. It tastes just as good but to me it is more concentrated than fresh so I used 1 Teaspoon in this recipe, I would use 1 Tablespoon if using fresh.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced produce.
  • Make Your Own Sweet Chili Sauce: The homemade sweet chili sauce in this recipe is easy to make and so much better than store-bought. Plus, you can adjust the heat and sweetness to your liking.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is a delicate protein that can easily become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A wok or large skillet is ideal for stir-frying the chicken and vegetables. It provides plenty of space for the ingredients to move around and cook evenly.
  • Serve Immediately: Rice noodle bowls are best served immediately after they are made. The rice noodles will start to soften and become mushy if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

These rice noodle bowls with sweet chili chicken are a delicious and easy weeknight meal. They are packed with flavor and nutrients, and they can be customized to your liking. Whether you are a fan of spicy food or prefer a milder dish, these bowls are sure to please. So next time you are looking for a quick and healthy meal, give this recipe a try!
