Ingredients

3 small chicken breast fillets

120g rice noodles (uncooked weight)

1 tbsp rice vinegar

2 tbsp fresh lime juice

4 tbsp sweet chilli sauce

2 tsp fish sauce

2 tsp peanut oil

100g finely shredded Chinese cabbage/white cabbage

2 carrots, peeled, coarsely grated

8 scallions, ends trimmed, thinly sliced diagonally

Small handful fresh mint leaves

Small handful fresh coriander leaves

Method

Place chicken in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Place over high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken to a plate. Set aside for 10 minutes to cool slightly. Coarsely shred chicken and place in a large bowl.

Meanwhile, place noodles in a large heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Set aside for 5 minutes to soften. Stir with a fork to separate. Drain well.

Place vinegar, lime juice, sweet chilli sauce, fish sauce and peanut oil in a screw-top jar and shake until well combined.

Add the noodles, cabbage, carrot, scallions, mint, and coriander to the chicken and gently toss to combine. Divide the salad among serving plates and serve immediately.
