I was just given a package of "rice sticks". They are the type of noodles used in Chinese chicken salad. There is no cooking directions on the package - at least none that I can read. The entire package is in Thai. Well, I am guessing Thai, since they were made in Thailand. Thank you in advance!
Try boiling them in some hot water the way you would any type of noodle.
Combine rice sticks and boiling water in a bowl and let stand 10 minutes or until soft. Drain; set aside.

You just need to pour a kettle of boiling water over them, once they go clear they are good to go. It takes about 1 min.
And if they're like the ones we get here, you should rinse them in clear cold water after you boil them.

Here is a recipe for Spicy Basil Chicken that I posted a few years ago. I still make it all the time. Yum!

I've also used this recipe, minus skewers of course. LOL, cooking it in a wok with just a tad of peanut oil instead of on the grill. :-) Jess, I am going to have to give your recipe a try! It sounds yummy!
Thai Chicken Kabobs with Peanut Dipping Sauce
Ingredients:
1 tbsp creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup lemon or lime juice
1-1/2 tsp brown sugar
1 tbsp curry powder
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce
4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves, cut in to 1 inch cubes
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tbsp fresh ginger root, minced, or 1 tsp dried ground ginger
1 tsp crushed red pepper
Directions:
Combine first seven ingredients in a large bowl. Place the chicken cubes in the marinade, cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, tossing once or twice.
Preheat a grill to medium high heat, place chicken cubes on skewers, discard marinade and grill for 5 minutes on each side or until juices run clear when piercing the chicken.
*Note: If using wooden skewers, soak them for about twenty minutes before placing chicken cubes on them.

It seems as though VH Sauces have discontinued their regular Thai Sauce.
Does anyone have a recipe for it?
Thanks.

You can also Google Thai Sauce Recipes and see which one sounds the closest to the flavor of the VH Sauce you were using.
