Chicken and Glass Noodle Salad

To ensure the noodles get soft, soak them in the hottest water you can get from your tap. The salad is moderately spicy; reduce the chile paste by 1 teaspoon or omit it for a milder dish.
How to Make It
Step 1
Place noodles in a large bowl. Cover with very hot tap water, and let stand 15 minutes.
Step 2
While noodles soak, combine vinegar and next 4 ingredients (through sambal), stirring until sugar dissolves. Combine chicken and next 5 ingredients (through mint), tossing well.
Step 3
Drain and rinse noodles with cold water; drain well, squeezing to remove excess water. Snip noodles several times with kitchen shears. Combine noodles and chicken mixture, tossing well to combine. Drizzle noodle mixture with vinegar mixture; toss well to coat. Top with peanuts.

This is a great recipe; the depth and variety of flavors is amazing. Unlike some other reviewers, I found I might like a little more heat.
One thing to know ahead of making this is that the directions will not yield the pretty dish pictured. In addition, I found it difficulty to incorporate all of the ingredients, because the noodles, even after snipping, tended to stick together. So, watch out, or you might end up with a noodle heavy or chicken/veggie heavy serving.

I love this recipe - but I serve it hot, not chilled. I throw everything in a skillet after preparing and saute for a few minutes and then serve. It is fine cold too, I just prefer it warm. Absolutely love the flavor - just as good as some dishes I've had in fancy Asian Bistros.

This recipe has great flavors. I made it as written except I subbed green onions for the shallots. The noodles weren't soft enough so next time I will use boiling water. This will be part of my regular rotation.

This recipe is so incredibly easy and tastes so good that it'll become a regular summer dish in my house. My husband likes the kick from the chile sauce and I love how fast it comes together. To make it even a little bit healthier I use poached chicken breasts instead of the rotisserie chicken (which also keeps me from wasting the leftover dark meat from a whole bird).
