Preparation
Mise en place
Heat the BBQ on high, making sure to oil the grill first. Bring a small pot (or kettle) of water to a boil. Halve the cucumbers lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise. Pick the mint leaves off the stems; roughly chop the leaves.
Boil the noodles
In a large heatproof bowl, combine the noodles and boiling water; stir gently to separate. Let sit for 3 to 5 min. until al dente. Drain, rinse under cold water and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the chicken
Meanwhile, pat the chicken* dry and drizzle with oil; season with ⅓ of the spices and S&P. Add to the BBQ and grill, 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest before slicing.
Make the noodle salad
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the noodles, carrots, cucumbers, peanuts, mint, honey, ponzu, a drizzle of oil, the remaining spices and S&P.
Plate your dish
Divide the noodle salad between your plates. Top with the chicken. Bon appétit!
