Method :
- Add the ingredients for the chicken patties to a large bowl. Mix to combine then roll into 12-14 patties. Keep your hands wet when rolling the patties as the mixture will be quite sticky. Cover and refrigerate until ready to cook.
- Fill a small saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Place the vermicelli noodles in the boiling water and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove the noodles from the water and rinse under cold running water. Set aside in a large bowl and allow to cool.
- In the meantime, prepare the dressing by combining the ingredients for the dressing in a glass jar of jug. Shake or stir to combine.
- Assemble the salad by adding the carrot, cucumber, shallots and herbs into the bowl with the vermicelli noodles. Add the dressing and toss to coat.
- Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook chicken patties for 4-5 minutes on each side.
- Serve the chicken patties on a bed of the vermicelli salad.
