Step 1

Marinate the chicken with half the jar of sauce and the garlic for about 30 minutes to an hour.

Step 2

Meanwhile, toss the cucumbers, onions, oil, vinegar, salt and sugar together.

Step 3

Heat a small amount of oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat; add chicken, let it sit undisturbed for a few minutes to caramelize, then flip and repeat until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. To caramelize it further, you can add a pinch of sugar towards the end.

Step 4

Serve the chicken over rice noodles, with some of the cucumber salad, fresh herbs, and peanuts.

Step 5

Using your remaining sauce, add a bit of water, soy sauce, or chili oil to the jar to thin it out into more of a dressing. Drizzle over the bowls and dive into that.
