Ingredients
For the Lemongrass Chicken:
- 0.75 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs (trimmed of fat)
- 0.75 tablespoons lemongrass paste (or fresh grated lemongrass)
- 1.5 garlic cloves ( minced)
- 0.5 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoons fish sauce (check labels if gluten-free)
- 0.5 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (or gluten-free soy sauce)
- 0.5 tablespoon sugar ( or honey)
- 1 teaspoons avocado oil (divided)
For The Bowls:
- dried vermicelli noodles (about 6 ounces, cooked following package instructions)
- 1 cups bean sprouts
- 1 Persian cucumbers (julienned)
- 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 carrots (julienned)
- 2 cups iceberg lettuce (finely sliced)
- 0.13 cup roasted peanuts (crushed)

Sauce:
- 0.5 tablespoons sugar ( or honey)
- 0.75 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoons fish sauce (check labels if gluten-free)
- 0.13 cup water
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together all of the ingredients for the chicken marinade until smooth. Add chicken and marinade with 1 teaspoon of the oil to a large ziploc bag and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 2+ hours or overnight.
- To make the fish sauce, combine the fish sauce ingredients and mix well to dissolve the sugar. Adjust to your taste (lime + sweetness) and set aside for at least 30 minutes for all of the flavors to meld together. Set aside.
- In a frying pan over medium heat, heat the remaining 1 teaspoon oil. Remove chicken from the marinade, and place into the pan cooking each side until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes on each side.
- Remove from the pan and set aside to slightly cool while you build the bowls.
- Add cooked vermicelli noodles to a bowl. Top off with desired amounts of bean sprouts, cucumber, mint, cilantro, carrots, and iceberg lettuce.
- Slice chicken and add to bowls. Top off with crushed peanuts and fish sauce. Enjoy right away.
