RICE NOODLES WITH CHICKEN & FRIED PORK SKIN

Chinese cooking has a number of wonderfully evocative names for some famous dishes - ants climbing a tree and Buddha jumps over a wall are two spectacular ones. I am sure that other Asian cuisines also have their share of exotically named dishes steeped in folklore. This isn't one of them. It's called rice noodles with chicken and fried pork skin because, well, that's what's in it. Yes, there are some other ingredients that play an important part in the dish, but their names don't open the movie, they simply get listed at the end, along with the names of the gaffer, best boy and key grip - peanut oil, garlic, chilli paste with soya bean oil and laksa leaves.
