Chef's Tip
Using sambal oelek is one of our favorite ways to add heat and flavor to a dish. Sambal is an Indonesian term that refers to a sauce made with chile peppers, and oelek refers to the mortar and pestle traditionally used to make it. We recommend stirring in 1 tablespoon for mild heat and 2 tablespoons for medium.

Wash produce before use

1

Poach the chicken

Bring a medium sauce pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Carefully lower the chicken into the boiling water and cook until opaque and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer to a plate to cool, then using a fork, shred the chicken. Set aside the water for the rice noodles.
While the water heats and the chicken cooks, prepare the sesame dressing.

2

Make the sesame dressing

  • Juice the lime.
In a small bowl, stir together the fish sauce, sesame oil, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 3 tablespoons water, and as much sambal oelek as you like.

3

Soak the noodles

Bring the chicken poaching water to a boil, remove from the heat, and add the rice noodles. Let the noodles soak until just tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain the noodles and rinse under cold water, then toss with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil to prevent sticking.
While the noodles soak, prepare the garnishes.

4

Prep the garnishes

  • Trim the root end from the iceberg lettuce.
  • Separate the lettuce leaves.
  • Trim the root ends from the scallions; thinly slice the scallions.
  • Coarsely chop the cilantro.
  • Trim off the top and bottom of the mango; cut away the peel, then cut the flesh into two halves away from the pit. Thinly slice the halves crosswise.
  • Coarsely chop the cashews.

Serve

Set out the chicken, rice noodles, lettuce leaves, scallions, cilantro, mango, cashews, fried shallots, and sesame dressing and invite everyone to assemble their own lettuce cups.
