Post #103

its so warm today, but got cooler as the sun set.

i have always wanted to try making my own vietnamese cold noodle salad, but its been so cold, i've delayed and delayed trying it out. so finally, it would be perfect to make this dish today!! :)

i had problem finding the right vermicelli - in fact, i was surprised that i couldnt find any vietnamese vermicelli. the right ones should be thicker than the chinese vermicelli but still quite thin. in the end i snatched a packet of chinese thick vermicelli.

getting all the cutting and chopping done - cucumber, carrot, mint, lettuce, chilli, peanuts and fried garlic:



going with the noodle salad, i marinated some chicken thigh fillets with lemongrass, ginger, garlic and fish sauce, to be pan fried to golden. absolutely delicious~
