Steps

• Cook the noodles in a pan of boiling water for about 3 minutes. Drain, and then cut the noodles into 4cm lengths with a pair of scissors. Set aside.
• Heat 60ml of the peanut oil in pan and cook the chicken breast slices until golden brown. Drain on paper towel then set aside.
• Combine the remaining 60ml of peanut oil with the sesame oil, mirin, lemongrass, fish sauce, ginger, garlic and mint in large bowl. Into this bowl, stir in the noodles, cooked chicken, onion, cashew nuts, bean sprouts, carrots, lime rind and chillies. Chill this mixture in the fridge for 20 minutes.
• Prepare a bowl of lukewarm water and dip each piece of rice paper in for about 30 seconds or until it becomes soft. Using your hands lay some sliced chillies and mint leaves down the middle of the rice paper. Next top this with 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture (making sure it is not too wet as you fill the rice paper). Lift the bottom of the rice paper closest to you; wrap it over the filing, folding the sides in as you roll. Chill them in the fridge for 15 minutes before serving.
• Meanwhile, make the dipping sauce by mixing the mirin with the lime juice, scatter with the mint leaves. To serve, slice the rolls in half and fill with a long Chinese chive.
