    Rice Vermicelli with Chicken and Nuoc Cham

    USE YOUR NOODLE: "Eat rice vermicelli within an hour or two of cooking. I like to toss them with a neutral oil infused with garlic. Always tear your finishing herbs into different sizes so every single bite is a different texture, different flavor, different taste profile." —Thai Dang, Embeya, Chicago

    USE YOUR NOODLE: "Serve cold Chinese noodles in chili oil or sesame paste with the sauce on the bottom, just like you'd find at a food stall in Sichuan.
