Grilled Chicken With Rice Noodles and Spicy Thai Dressing
Serves 4
Ingredients:
Spicy Dressing
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup lime juice
1/4 cup fish sauce
3 tablespoons sugar
1 clove garlic, grated or minced
1-2 Thai chiles, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Chicken

2 cloves garlic, grated or minced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces rice noodles
4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
2 carrots, shredded with a vegetable peeler
Radish sprouts

Directions:
- Preheat a grill or broiler to high. If using a grill, oil the grates.
- In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients for the dressing and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Set aside.
- In another bowl, combine the chicken with the garlic, oil, and salt and pepper.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the rice noodles. Cook 3-4 minutes. Rinse with cold water and drain well.
- At the same time, grill or broil (if broiling, place the chicken on a sheet or broiler pan) the chicken until cooked through, about 8-12 minutes total, turning once.
