Cold Asian Noodle Salad with Chicken and Cucumbers

This salad is perfect for a hot day, 
Sweet, sour, and a little spicy. 
The recipe called for wide rice noodles but personally I prefer vermicelli style noodle. 
Also, make it even easier and use a store bought Rotisserie Chicken, 
Just rip the meat off the chicken then you can make soup or stock with the remains, 
The stock freezes well, for later use

For the hot sauce, I like to use Sriracha Sauce but take your pick of your favourite
