45 minutes
Serves 3
Salad

Instructions

  1. 1

    Poach Chicken: Boil the chicken in water with salt until fully cooked (15-20 minutes). Remove, let cool completely, then use your hands to tear the meat into coarse shreds.

  2. 2

    Prepare Onion: Cut the onion in half, then slice it as thinly as possible into half-moons.

  3. 3

    Mellow the Onion: Soak the sliced onion in a bowl of ice water with a splash of vinegar or lime juice for 10 minutes. This removes the harsh raw bite while keeping them incredibly crunchy. Drain and squeeze dry.

  4. 4

    Make Dressing: Whisk lime juice, sugar, fish sauce, black pepper, and chili together until sugar dissolves. The dressing should be quite tart.

  5. 5

    Toss: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, drained onions, and roughly chopped Vietnamese coriander. Pour the dressing over the top and toss with your hands, massaging the flavors into the meat.

  6. 6

    Serve: Transfer to a plate, top with crushed peanuts, and serve with crispy shrimp crackers (bánh phồng tôm).
