Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 tbsp Vietnamese fish sauce (nuoc mam) or Thai fish sauce (nam pla)
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp sugar , or more to taste if liked
½ tsp coarsely ground black pepper
1 small red chilli , seeded and finely chopped
200g white cabbage , finely shredded
2 medium carrots , finely shredded
1 small onion , finely sliced
2 tbsp roughly chopped fresh mint leaves
2 tbsp roughly chopped coriander leaves

1 tbsp caster sugar

  • Shred the chicken and toss it into the salad with the herbs. Mix again, cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours (overnight is ideal).
  • To make the nuoc cham sauce, pound the garlic, chillies and caster sugar to a paste using a pestle and mortar. Mix in the fish sauce, vinegar and 6 tbsp water. (It will keep for up to 4 days in the fridge.)
  • To serve, toss the salad, taste and add more sugar, if you like. Scatter mint leaves on each plates, pile the salad on top and sprinkle with peanuts. Serve with individual bowls of nuoc cham sauce to pour over.
