Gỏi Gà

Ingredients(for 1 medium plate (~250g) per person)

• 200g Skinless chicken breast (Thịt gà)
• 1 cup, thinly shredded Green cabbage (Bắp cải xanh)
• 1 medium, julienned Carrot (Cà rốt)
• 1/4 cup, chopped Fresh mint leaves (Húng lủi)
• 1/4 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro (Ngò rí)
• 1/4 small, thinly sliced Onion (Hành tây)
• 2 tbsp, crushed Roasted peanuts (Đậu phộng rang)
• 1 small, finely sliced Red chili (Ớt đỏ) - optional
• 2 tbsp Lime juice (Nước cốt chanh)
• 1.5 tbsp Fish sauce (Nước mắm)
• 1 tsp Sugar (Đường)
• 1/4 tsp Salt (Muối)

Instructions

1. 1

   Boil the chicken breast in lightly salted water for about 15 minutes or until fully cooked. Let it cool, then shred using your hands or two forks.

   20 minutes

   Letting the chicken rest before shredding keeps it juicy.

2. 2

   Prepare the vegetables by finely shredding the cabbage, julienning the carrot, and thinly slicing the onion.

   5 minutes

   Soak onions in ice water for 5 minutes to reduce sharpness.

3. 3

   Mix the dressing by combining lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Stir well until the sugar dissolves.

   2 minutes

   Adjust lime and fish sauce for your preferred balance of sour and salty.

4. 4

   In a large bowl, toss the shredded chicken, cabbage, carrot, onion, mint, and cilantro. Drizzle the dressing over and mix thoroughly to ensure even coating.

   3 minutes

   Use your hands (with gloves) for gentle mixing to keep the vegetables crisp.
