In this refreshing noodle bowl dinner, crunchy mix-ins like carrots, cabbage, and cucumbers are tossed with a sweet and tangy mixture of lime juice, sweet chili sauce, and ginger. Thin rice noodles and leftover sliced roast chicken, or meat from a rotisserie chicken, make this a filling meal that's perfect for a warm evening on the patio or packed up for a picnic.

Directions

  1. Whisk together lime zest and juice, chili sauce, ginger, cilantro, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk in oil. Toss cabbage, carrots, and cucumbers with 1/4 cup dressing; let stand at least 10 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, cook noodles in boiling water until al dente (about 4 minutes); drain. Rinse under cold water, then drain again. Toss with 1/4 cup dressing. Serve noodles topped with cabbage salad and chicken. Drizzle with more dressing. Sprinkle with peanuts, chiles, and cilantro leaves.
