    1 To make marinade, blend chillies, garlic, lime juice, fish sauce, oil and sugar until smooth. Transfer 1/2 cup to a large salad bowl. Place remaining marinade and chicken in a medium-sized bowl and turn chicken to coat.

    2 Heat barbecue grill or set chargrill pan over a high heat. Cook chicken, turning and brushing with any remaining marinade in bowl, for 6-8 minutes or until cooked through.

    3 Meanwhile, place noodles in a medium-sized heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave noodles to stand for 5 minutes or until tender. Use a fork to separate noodles. Drain and rinse under cold running water. Cut noodles in 10cm lengths.

    4 Place remaining ingredients in salad bowl of marinade. Add noodles and toss gently to combine. Serve chilli chicken with green mango salad.

    Variations

    • To take some heat out of the chillies (and dressing), remove chilli seeds.
    • If mangoes aren’t available, use green papaya or grated courgette.
    • Make it gluten free: Check fish sauce is gluten free.
