Wok-tossed noodles seared over ferocious heat with spring onions, beansprouts, aromatic garlic, and savoury seasoned sauce.
Zest and juice the limes, and slice the chilies.
Rub the chicken with the lime zest, half the lime juice, half the fish sauce, and half the sugar, and rest for 30 minutes.
Pan-sear the chicken skin-side down until golden and cooked through, then slice.
Whisk the remaining lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar with the sliced chilies into a sharp lime nuoc cham.
Arrange the rice vermicelli, chicken, cucumber, and pickled carrots and daikon in bowls, pour over the dressing, and top with the fresh herbs.
