Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Boil the chicken breast in water for about 15-20 minutes until fully cooked. Remove from water and let it cool before shredding.

    Pickle the Vegetables

    In a bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the julienned carrot and green papaya. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to pickle.

  3. 3

    Make Nước Chấm

    In a small bowl, combine the fish sauce, minced garlic, sugar, and sliced chili pepper. Stir well until the sugar dissolves.

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, arrange the shredded chicken and top it with the pickled vegetables. Drizzle with Nước Chấm and garnish with chopped cilantro.
