Directions

  1. Boil the chicken, let it cool, and shred it into thin strips. Wash the herbs, drain them, and chop them into pieces about 1 cm in size.
  2. Rinse the noodles and then blanch them in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. They become very soft: 3 to 5 minutes may be sufficient if the water is boiling vigorously.
  3. Prepare the sauce: sauté the finely chopped garlic until golden, then add the soy sauce, nuoc-mâm, sugar, lemon juice, and chicken stock in the specified proportions. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. The chicken stock makes the sauce mild and slightly acidic.
  4. Add some herbs and powdered seasonings to the remaining chicken stock to create a flavorful broth to accompany the chicken.
  5. In each bowl, in the following order: noodles, shredded chicken, French-fried Allium ascalonicum (leek), peanut, herbs, and sauce.
