1. Heat the broiler or light the grill. In a medium bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of the fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, 2 cloves of garlic, and the oil. Add the chicken, toss, then thread each strip onto a wooden skewer. Broil or grill the chicken until just done, about 2 minutes per side. 2. In a small bowl, combine the remaining fish juice, sugar, and garlic with the red pepper flakes, vinegar, lime juice, and water. Set this (nuoc cham!) aside. 3. In a pot of boiling, salted water, cook the vermicelli until just done, about 9 minutes. Add the bean sprouts during the last minute of cooking. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain thoroughly. 4. Put the pasta and bean sprouts onto a platter and top with the cucumber, herbs, and chicken skewers. Pour the nuoc cham over all and sprinkle with peanuts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
