The chicken is marinated in lemongrass and garlic, then grilled so the outside caramelises while the inside stays moist. Set against cold noodles and raw vegetables, it makes a bowl that is refreshing and substantial at the same time.
Pour the nước chấm over everything, toss it through, and each forkful picks up noodles, herbs, chicken and peanuts together.
This is one of the bowls that office workers near Quarry Park and Riverbend order at midday. It is quick to prepare, it does not weigh you down in the afternoon, and it is just as good at your desk as it is in our dining room.
