Pound the stalk with a heavy mallet and chop very fine. In a bowl, combine the lemongrass, garlic, scallions, cilantro, maple syrup, fish sauce, tamari, sesame oil, and pepper. Mix well. Place the chicken in a baking dish and pour the marinade over top. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours, or over night, flipping the chicken halfway through. Set the oven @ 375ºF/190ºC. Transfer the chicken to a shallow roasting pan and drizzle with the olive oil. Roast for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown. Alternately, cook the chicken on a grill heated on medium-high until slightly charred and cooked through. VEGETABLES & CHILLI SAUCE: In a small bowl, combine the garlic, peppers, vinegar, fish sauce, maple syrup, and water. Mix well. Place the carrots and cucumbers in a large bowl and pour the sauce mixture over them. Marinate the vegetables for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally NOODLES & GARNISH: Place the noodles in a large bowl and cover with boiling water. Let them sit for 2 minutes, then drain. Divide the noodles among four wide, shallow bowls and allow to cool slightly. Top each with chicken (and the chicken pan juices), carrots, and cucumber. Drizzle with the chili sauce. Garnish with the hazelnuts, scallions, cilantro, and mint, then serve with a wedge of lime. Serves 4.
