Vietnamese Chicken Coleslaw Salad


I can't believe anything this healthy can taste so good! truly, this is one of the best things i've ever eaten. this recipe is very liberally adapted from one shown on australia's version of good chef bad chef. the original poached a whole chicken, but i just bought a cooked chicken from the shop and 'cheated' with the poaching. it was still deeee-licious!!

Steps


First , prepare the chicken poaching liquid.
In a small saucepan , combine chicken stock , lemon juice , ginger , sambal oelek or minced chilli , coriander roots and stems , and garlic.
Add whole breasts of chicken to liquid and set aside until needed.
In a medium bowl , combine chopped coriander and mint leaves and the sliced green onion - remember to reserve some mint and coriander leaves for garnish.
Set aside until needed.
Now , make the dressing.
Add all the dressing ingredients to a small food processor and blitz until combined.
Taste and adjust flavours of dressing to suit your personal taste - it should be quite sweet , salty and tangy.
Next , combine coleslaw ingredients in a large bowl - remembering to reserve some bean sprouts for garnish - and toss thoroughly.
Now , put the saucepan with the chicken and poaching liquid on the stove over a medium heat and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for a few minutes until chicken is heated through.
Remove chicken fr.
