Yield: 4
Ingredients: Kosher salt; 6 ounces vermicelli or other thin rice noodles; 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth; 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter; 2 tablespoons soy sauce; 2 tablespoons Sriracha; 1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced crosswise 1/4-inch thick (about 12 ounces); 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced; 4 scallions, thinly sliced; 1 cup loosely packed roughly chopped fresh cilantro (from 1 medium bunch); 2 Persian cucumbers or 1 regular cucumber, thinly sliced (about 2 cups); 1 romaine heart, thinly sliced (about 3 cups; [For Serving:] Lime wedges

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the vermicelli and cook until almost tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Drain the noodles very well, tossing with tongs to release as much water as possible. Snip the noodles with scissors a few times to cut the long strands.
Bring the chicken broth and 2 1/2 cups water to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the peanut butter, soy sauce and Sriracha. Then add the chicken and bell pepper. Cook, over medium-low heat, at a bare simmer until the chicken is just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the cooked rice noodles and scallions to the soup. Divide among 4 bowls and top with the cilantro, cucumbers, romaine and serve with lime wedges.
