Number Of Ingredients 17

1 skinless and boneless chicken breast
3/4 teaspoon chile paste
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon rice-wine vinegar
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce (nam pla)
3 tablespoons peanut oil
6 cups (12 ounces) savoy cabbage, shredded
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, julienned
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, julienned, plus sprigs for garnish

  • In a small bowl, whisk together chile paste, garlic, sugar, rice-wine vinegar, lime juice, fish sauce, and peanut oil until well combined. Set aside.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. Try to use cabbage, carrots, and chicken that are all fresh and crisp.
  • Shred the cabbage and carrots thinly. This will help them to absorb the dressing better and make the salad more flavorful.
  • Use a flavorful dressing. The dressing is what really makes this salad shine. Be sure to use a dressing that is flavorful and well-balanced. The recipe in the article provides a great dressing option, but you can also use your own favorite dressing.
  • Don't overdress the salad. A little bit of dressing goes a long way. If you add too much dressing, the salad will become soggy and less flavorful.
  • Serve the salad immediately. This salad is best enjoyed fresh. If you let it sit for too long, the cabbage and carrots will start to wilt and the salad will become less flavorful.

Conclusion:

Vietnamese cabbage and chicken salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is easy to make. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken and it is a perfect side dish for any meal. With its fresh, flavorful ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
