Soften the rice noodles in hot water for 20 minutes, then drain.
Mix the chicken or shrimp with turmeric, fish sauce, and garlic.
Sear the meat in a little oil for 5 minutes so the yellow spice transfers to the pan.
Add a small amount of chicken stock and cook for 12 minutes; Mi Quang should not be as soupy as a broth soup.
Put the noodles in a bowl and place the meaty sauce and toasted peanuts on top.
Add the fresh herbs, lime, and crisp rice cracker at serving time so the textures do not soften.
💡 Tip: Letting the noodles rest briefly after draining helps keep them from sticking in the lightly brothy serving.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the bowl hot, scatter peanuts on top, and add lime.
