1
Marinate chicken

  • Before starting, preheat the broiler to high. Wash and dry all produce.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (use same for 4 servings). 
  • Remove and discard outer layer of lemongrass, then halve lengthwise. Place lemongrass on a cutting board, cut-side down. Using the back of a spoon or a pot, forcefully hit lemongrass to crush, then very finely chop white and palest green parts.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels.
  • To a medium bowl, add lemongrass, half the garlic, fish sauce and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and peppper, then stir to combine. Add chicken and stir until chicken is coated. Set aside.

Cook rice noodles

  • To the boiling water, add rice noodles. Cook for 10-12 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still slightly chewy to the bite.
  • Drain rice noodles and rinse under warm water until slightly cool. Return to the pot. Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Stir to coat noodles.

3
Prep

  • Halve tomato lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half moons. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Zest, then juice half the lime. Cut remaining lime into wedges.
  • Remove and discard outer layer and stem of lettuce. Cut in half lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Roughly chop cilantro.

4
Cook chicken

  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
  • When the pan is hot, add chicken. Cook for 3-4 min on one side, until browned. Flip chicken, then cover and cook for another 3-4 min, until cooked through.**
  • Reduce heat to low. Add 2 tbsp (1/4 cup) water, soy sauce and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) sugar. Cook for 1-3 min, stirring frequently, until chicken is glazed.

5
Make nuoc cham sauce and marinate carrots

  • To a small bowl, add nuoc cham, half the lime zest, half the lime juice, remaining garlic and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water. Stir to combine. 
  • To another small bowl, add carrots and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) nuoc cham sauce. Stir to combine. Season with salt.
