directions
- Cut the chicken into 1in strips, and place in a large bowl. Combine the marinade ingredients and pour on to the chicken, and mix well. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the broiler to high.
- Place the chicken strips on a broiler tray and broil for 4-5 minutes without turning. When cooked, remove and cover with foil while you prepare the salad.
- To make the dressing, stir together the dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
- Place the rice vermicelli in a large bowl, and cover with boiling water. Leave until soft, about 10 minutes.
- Place the sliced onion in iced water for 2-3 minutes, this will make it crisp, and mellow the flavour out a little. Drain both the vermicelli and onion well, and place in a large bowl.
- Tear the cilantro and mint leaves away from the stalks, and add to the bowl along with the salad leaves and the red pepper.
- To serve, add the chicken strips, the juices, and the dressing to the salad.
- Toss gently with your hands, and divide onto plates, arranging in an attractive manner. Serve at once.
