Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil rice vermicelli in salted water until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Pat chicken wings dry. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

  3. Step 3

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Add wings and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes until golden.

  4. Step 4

    Flip wings and cook another 4 minutes until crispy all over and cooked through.

  5. Step 5

    While wings cook, whisk together fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, garlic, and chili. Toss cooked vermicelli and carrots with the dressing.

  6. Step 6

    Divide noodle mixture between bowls. Top each with crispy wings. Drizzle any pan juices over top and serve immediately.
