Chef's Tip
If the cooked noodles start to clump, rinse them again with cold water to separate them.
Ingredient IQ
Sambal oelek is one of our favorite tools to bring heat and flavor to a dish. Sambal is an Indonesian term for a sauce made with chiles, and oelek refers to the mortar and pestle traditionally used to make it. We recommend stirring in one-third for mild heat, two-thirds for medium, and all of it if you like things super spicy.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the glass noodles

Bring a medium [large] sauce pot of water to a boil. Add the glass noodles and cook until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
While the water heats and the noodles cook, prepare the chicken.

2

Prep and cook the chicken

Prep and cook instructions are identical for both chicken options.
  • Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; coat the chicken on both sides with 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] hoisin (set aside the remaining hoisin for serving) and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until lightly browned and cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board to cool slightly. Cut the chicken crosswise into ½-inch-thick slices.
While the chicken cooks and cools, prepare the glass noodle salad.

3

Make the glass noodle salad

  • Peel the cucumber, if desired. Cut the cucumber lengthwise into quarters, then thinly slice crosswise.
  • Strip the mint leaves from the stems.
  • Strip the cilantro leaves from the stems.
In a large bowl, toss together the glass noodles, cucumber, mint, cilantro, carrots, Thai dressing base, and as much sambal oelek as you like. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the glass noodle salad to individual bowls, top with the chicken, and serve the remaining hoisin and any remaining sambal oelek on the side.
