Tips:

- Marinate the chicken in the teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

- Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions, usually by boiling them for 4-5 minutes until tender, then rinsing under cold water to stop the cooking process.

- Thinly slice the cucumber, carrot, and red pepper for a uniform texture that blends well with the noodles.

- Sauté the chicken breasts in a bit of sesame oil over medium heat until fully cooked and slightly caramelized from the teriyaki sauce.

- Mix the lemon juice with the remaining sesame oil to create a light, tangy dressing for the salad.

- Toss the cooked rice noodles with the vegetables, mung beans, and scallions. Add the cooked chicken and drizzle with the sesame oil and lemon dressing.

- Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped nuts for added crunch and flavor.
