Give me a bowl of rice noodles, great flavor from cilantro and a spicy sauce and I am a happy girl. You can make this a build you own style bowl with different veggies, extra spices for those who like things really hot.
I would say this is better than takeout because you control the quality of the ingredients, no msg, organic chicken and this cilantro happened to be from a friends garden. I could eat meals like this every night.
This was so good with a glass of viognier, a nice balance to the spice in this dish.
