I love one-dish meals and this fantastic soup fits the bill. Adjust the heat to your taste and substitute other noodles like rice noodles if you like. For those who don't like cilantro use basil in a smaller amount, and please don't leave out the lime juice! Adapted from a Food and Wine cookbook.

1 teaspoon peanut butter
1 clove garlic, plus 4 cloves garlic minced
5 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup champagne vinegar
1 cup olive oil
1/4 cup sesame oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts
1 small Spanish onion, diced
1 bunch fresh cilantro, leaves chopped
2 carrots, peeled and grated
1 small head napa cabbage, shredded
1 head Bibb or butter lettuce
1 pound angel hair pasta, cooked according to package directions, drained and cooled
Chili Sauce, recipe follows

1 small onion, halved
Canola oil, for grilling
3 serrano chiles, halved
1 red pepper
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup Thai chili sauce
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup chicken stock
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan.
  • In a blender or food processor, combine the peanut butter, 1 clove garlic and the soy sauce. Blend on high until smooth. Add the vinegar, olive oil and sesame oil and blend until emulsified. Add salt and pepper, to taste
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, to tastes, and cook on the grill until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 on each side. Let the chicken cool down then dice it into bite-size pieces.
  • In a bowl, mix together the onions, remaining minced garlic, cilantro, carrots, cabbage, chopped chicken and the peanut sauce. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • To serve, separate the lettuce leaves. Use each leaf as a cup and fill with a bit of pasta, a spoonful of the chicken mixture, a drizzle of the chili sauce, a sprinkle of caramel corn and a few parsley leaves. Arrange on a serving platter and serve.
  • Brush the onion halves with oil and grill them for 4 minutes on each side. In a food processor or blender, combine serrano chiles, red pepper, garlic, chili sauce, honey and chicken stock. Blend on high until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh ingredients whenever possible.
  • If you don't have Shaoxing wine, you can substitute dry sherry or white wine.
  • If you like your chicken extra crispy, double-fry it. First, fry it for 3-4 minutes, then remove it from the oil and let it cool slightly. Then, fry it again for 2-3 minutes, or until it is golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the chicken with steamed rice, noodles, or stir-fried vegetables.
