  2. Cook the patties in a pan with 1 tbsp oil over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Set aside.

  5. Whisk together 2 tbsp lime juice, 1 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp brown sugar, and 1/2 tsp chili flakes for the dressing. Pour over the salad and toss to combine.
  6. **Soup Version:** Cook 8 oz dried pho noodles according to package directions. Set aside.
  7. In a large pot or wok, heat 1 tbsp oil. Add 1 chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic and sauté until softened (about 3 minutes).
  8. Add 4 cups chicken broth, 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and the cooked chicken patties (sliced or whole). Bring to a simmer.
