Vietnamese Chicken Salad Recipe 1 (Gà xé phay)

Taste description: Admittedly I am no fan of salad, yet this simple chicken salad is a real must-try. Here is one dish that can keep you craving till the last piece of chicken on plate. As you probably can see, there are two versions to this Vietnamese Chicken Salad, of which personally, I prefer this first recipe. However, I promise both recipes are worth your try and your family members will definitely love it.















Ingredients: (serves 2)
- 3 boneless chicken drumsticks, boiled until cooked and torn into pieces
- 1/2 a big yellow onion, sliced into long thin pieces
- 3 small garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 bunch of mint leaves, cut into small pieces
- 1 very small bunch of coriander leaves, cut into small pieces
- 7 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 small lemon
- 1tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 4 chilies, cut and seeds removed
- Pepper

Procedure:
- Soak the onion and garlic in 5 tbsp vinegar for 20 mins, then remove all the vinegar in the mixture.
- Throw in the torn chicken, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar, 2 tbsp vinegar and extract of 1 small lemon.
- Keep the mixture for 15 minutes then put in the cut mint leaves, coriander leaves and chilies.
- Mix well and eat.
