Ingredients:

Serving

5 tbsp asian fish sauce ( nuoc mam or nam pla
2 tbsp sugar
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp cooking oil
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast , cut lengthwise into about 12 strips
1/2 tsp dried red pepper flakes
1 tsp wine vinegar
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp lime juice
2 tbsp water
1/2 lb vermicelli
1 cup bean sprouts
1 cucumber, peeled, halved , lengthwise, seeded, and cut into thin slices
2/3 cup fresh mint (or any combination of the three) or 2/3 cup basil (or any combination of the three) or 2/3 cup cilantro (or any combination of the three)
1/3 cup chopped peanuts

Directions:

Heat the broiler or light the grill. In a medium bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of the fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, 2 cloves of garlic, and the oil. Add the chicken, toss, then thread each strip onto a wooden skewer. Broil or grill the chicken until just done, about 2 minutes per side.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining fish juice, sugar, and garlic with the red pepper flakes, vinegar, lime juice, and water. Set this (nuoc cham!) aside.
In a pot of boiling, salted water, cook the vermicelli until just done, about 9 minutes. Add the bean sprouts during the last minute of cooking. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain thoroughly.
Put the pasta and bean sprouts onto a platter and top with the cucumber, herbs, and chicken skewers. Pour the nuoc cham over all and sprinkle with peanuts.
