Vietnamese Noodles with Lemongrass Chicken
Recipe video above. This Vietnamese lemongrass marinade is exceptional - you'll absolutely love it! This is one of my siganture recipes - it's as delicious as it is healthy, ideal for making ahead, for midweek meals and a cheap (impressive) meal idea for large groups. DON'T BE DAUNTED by the list of ingredients - the ingredients for the marinade and sauce are largely the same!

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Lemongrass Chicken
2
Combine Chicken and Marinade ingredients and set aside for at least ⏱️ 1 hour, up to ⏱️ 24 hours. (Note 4)
3
Heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a fry pan over medium heat (or heat the BBQ). Remove chicken from marinade, shaking off large bits of lemongrass (small bits should fall off during cooking).

4
Place chicken in the pan and cook each side until dark golden brown and chicken is just cooked through - about 6 to ⏱️ 8 minutes in total.
5
Remove from pan, shaking off any remaining bits of visible lemongrass and set aside to rest for ⏱️ 5 minutes. Then slice into thin pieces.
6
Nuoc Cham Sauce
7
Combine the Nuoc Cham ingredients and mix well to dissolve the sugar. Adjust to your taste (spiciness, lime, sweetness) and set aside for at least ⏱️ 20 minutes.
8
Assemble
9
Soak the vermicelli noodles in hot water for ⏱️ 3 minutes (or according to packet instructions), then drain and rinse under cold water to stop the noodles from sticking together.
10
Individual servings: Place noodles in bowl. Top with vegetables and herbs, and sliced chicken pieces. Drizzle with a few tablespoons of Nuoc Cham Sauce (be generous, ~ 4 tbsp per serving) and serve with lime wedges.
Lime wedges (to serve - optional but recommended)

DIY (my preferred way): Place chicken, vegetables, herbs, noodles and sauce in separate bowls / piled on platters. Then let everyone make their own bowls!
