Chicken and noodle salad

Step 1: Prepare the Noodles

Begin by placing the noodles in a heatproof bowl. Carefully pour boiling water over the noodles until they are fully submerged. Allow them to sit undisturbed for about 15 minutes. This will give the noodles ample time to soften and become tender. While the noodles are soaking, take a small bowl and combine the lime juice, fish sauce, honey, and sesame oil. Use a whisk to blend these ingredients together thoroughly, creating a well-mixed dressing that will add flavor to your dish.

Step 2: Rinse and Combine

Once the 15 minutes have elapsed, drain the noodles using a colander and then rinse them briefly under cold running water to stop the cooking process and remove any excess starch. Drain them again to ensure they are not watery. Transfer the rinsed noodles into a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients, excluding the lime wedges, to the bowl. Pour the prepared dressing over the mixture. Gently toss everything together until the noodles and ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired to enhance the flavors.

Finally, portion the noodle mixture onto four individual plates. Serve the dish alongside lime wedges, which can be squeezed over the noodles for an extra burst of citrus flavor, if desired. Enjoy your meal!
