Directions

Lemongrass chicken

1. Combine chicken and marinate and let sit in fridge for minimum 30 minutes, up to 24 hours

2. Airfry chicken skin side up at 190 degrees C for 20 minutes

3. Flip over and cook for an extra 5 minutes

4. Let sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing into strips

Sauce

1. Combine sauce ingredients, and mix well to dissolve the sugar

Assemble

1. Soak the vermicelli noodles in boiling water for 5-7 minutes, then rinse off in cold water to stop the noodles from sticking together

2. Place equal portions of noodles in each bowl, top with veggies, and 1 sliced chicken thigh per bowl.

3. Top with crushed peanuts, fried shallot and green onion.

4. Serve with 2-3 tbsp of the sauce/dressing. I like to keep the sauce seperate but you can add it straight into the bowl

5. Serve with lemon or lime wedges
