Step 1

Place the noodles in a large bowl, cover with hot water and soak, stirring occasionally, until softened, at least 15 minutes and up to 45 minutes. Drain.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, toss the cucumber with the salt, and let sit for 15 to 20 minutes. Drain.

Step 3

In another medium bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the peanut butter, chili crisp and rice vinegar until combined. (Chili crisp brands can vary in spice levels, so add more to taste, if desired.)

Step 4

Add the chicken, drained cucumbers and peanut sauce to the softened rice noodles, and toss to combine. Divide among bowls, sprinkle with peanuts and serve.
