Remove the chicken meat from the bone and cut or tear into bite size pieces. Toss the chicken meat with the marinade and refrigerate until needed. To make the salad: Soak the glass noodles in the hot water for 5 minutes, stirring gently to separate and loosen the noodles. Strain the softened noodles and toss with the Basic Sauce.

Bring to a boil over high heat. Add the chicken breasts and reduce the heat to medium. Simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove chicken from water and cool completely.
  • Combine the sugar and water in a medium-sized pot and boil for 5 minutes to make a simple syrup. In a blender puree the sambal, garlic, red pepper, fish sauce, salt, and lemon juice. Add the puree to the pot with the simple syrup. Simmer for 25 minutes until the sauce has thickened to the consistency of corn syrup. Store Basic Sauce in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. . Yield: 2 cups

  • Balance Flavors: Thai cuisine is known for its balance of flavors, including sweet, sour, salty, and spicy. Adjust ingredients accordingly to suit your taste preferences.
  • Use Quality Rice Noodles: For the best texture, choose high-quality rice noodles. Soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes before cooking to soften them.
  • Toast Rice Noodles: To enhance their flavor, toast the rice noodles in a pan with a little oil before boiling them. This adds a nutty aroma and texture.
  • Cook Noodles Properly: Follow the package instructions for cooking the rice noodles. They should be cooked al dente, remaining slightly firm to the bite.
  • Chill Noodles: After cooking, immediately rinse the noodles in cold water to stop the cooking process and prevent them from becoming mushy. Drain well before using.
