Cold Rice Noodle Salad With Chicken, Herbs, and Cucumbers

5 Stars: I'm so glad I found this recipe. I use way more herbs than called for and I'm a 1 1/2 tablespoons of fish sauce person. This is a big win, at my house.

I'd say 3.5. Family liked it a lot. 1# rice noodles makes a LOT, 1 entree meal for 3 of us, lunch next day, and we have enough for a side for another meal. Good thing we like it! A fair bit of prep. Sauce was very good. Really nice on hot night. I like the idea of adding a bit of carrot, peanut etc. and might add to the leftovers.

We loved this recipe! Easy to make and refreshing on a hot summer evening. It’s also a fantastic way to use up herbs from the garden. I didn’t use rotisserie chicken as it’s cheaper to cook my own chicken breasts. I did end up marinating the chicken breasts for a few hours in a ginger soy marinade before baking it and I think that really elevated the flavor. Otherwise I prepared it as directed. Don’t skimp on the fresh herbs, especially the mint!

Let me break down the cost of this dish: rice noodles, 1 LB. $6.00, rotisserie chicken $5.99, fish sauce,$ 4.99, cilantro $2.50 + the other ingredients I had on hand. Rice noodles tasted like zip ties, sauce was too little, I should have served the chicken, and bought another meal for what that garbage cost

Very easy to put together, but I was not super impressed with the flavor... perhaps I used the wrong kind of noodles :(

Probably 3 1/2 forks... Easy to put together but a bit time consuming. Great flavors, easy to add in extra veg like carrots, red pepper, radish, peanuts, etc... The mint makes it. Great summer dinner, everyone loved it!

I agree, very easy! Not the most complex flavor profile, but I loved the fresh herbs and the speed of putting it all together. I added a few other fresh ingredients, like green onions and snow peas, plus crushed peanuts tossed at the end. Just a word of advise, though, if packing this for lunches the next day do not add the cucumbers...they will just get limp and slimy!

Very good and so easy! I wasn't sure about soy sauce in this Vietnamese-type dressing, but it definitely worked. It's a good classic that I'm sure I'll make many times. I used zoodles (thin zucchini strips) instead of rice noodles, which worked well. I also topped with crushed peanuts, which I highly recommend.
