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 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. Simmer, then turn off the heat. Thanks to the stock, the sauce is 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, arrange the ingredients in the following order: noodles, shredded chicken, French-fried shallots, peanuts, herbs, and sauce.
