Aromatic Chicken with Crispy Rice Vermicelli 

Serve: 2

Ingredients for the main part:

500 gram                Chicken thigh – skinned and deboned

50 gram                  Rice vermicelli

150ml                      Vegetable oil

1 tbs                         Thai green curry paste

1 tbs                         Fish sauce

1 tbs                         Oyster sauce

1 tbs                         Sugar

1 tbs                         Chopped coriander leaves

1 tbs                         Chopped garlic

Ingredients for spicy dressing:

2 tbs                             Lime juice

1 tbs                              Fish sauce

1 tbs                              Chopped red chilli

1 tbs                              Chopped red onion

1 tsp                             Honey

Pinch                           Salt and pepper

Method

-Put the chicken thighs, Thai green curry paste, fish sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, coriander and garlic into a mixing bowl. Mix all the ingredients and marinate for at least 2 hours (even better overnight).

-Once ready to cook, preheat the oven to 200 Celsius.

-Put about 25ml of oil, salt and pepper on the marinated chicken. Mix well.

-Grill the chicken thighs on a hot griddle pan for about 1 minute on each side.

-Transfer the chicken thighs onto the baking tray. Bake until the chicken is cooked (approx 20-25 minutes).

-Heat the rest of the oil in the wok (or saucepan) until it is very hot. Then add the rice vermicelli into the hot oil. The rice vermicelli should puff up immediately. Quickly transfer the rice vermicelli, by using a spatula or turner to take the crispy rice vermicelli onto a kitchen towel.

-Mix the red chilli, lime juice, fish sauce, honey and red onion in a small bowl, set aside.

-Lay the crispy rice vermicelli, top with the chicken and drizzle with the dressing then serve immediately.

Tip:

-Make sure the oil is very hot before frying the rice vermicelli, but please do take care.

-I love to slice the cooked chicken then put it into the crunchy vermicelli, drizzle with the dressing then fold all the ingredients together then serve. However, you can serve the dressing on the side as it can be quite spicy for some.

-Aromatic Chicken with Crispy Rice Vermicelli is a great alternative side dish for BBQ.
