  • 1 pack tamarind candy (seed out)
  • 10 sprigs cilantro
  • 10 sprigs Thai basil
  • 10 sprigs mint
  • Chili Vinaigrette
  • 1 bottle sweet chili (12 ounces)
  • 1 cup ginger, diced
  • 2 cups fresh lime juice

  • Cooking Directions

    Combine all chili vinaigrette ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix well. Keep refrigerated.

    Prepare the Pam Thai and keep refrigerated. Just before you sauté chicken, mix the Pam Thai ingredients from above in a mixing bowl with vinaigrette. Let sit for 5 minutes. When chicken is finished cooking, place on serving plate and top with Thai salad.

    To cook chicken: bring to a boil and cook chicken for 45 minutes on medium heat. Let it cool, pick the meat off bones and shred not too fine.

    In a 12-inch sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons soy bean oil and add chicken. Let sit for 2 minutes at medium heat. Add ginger, lemongrass, a squeeze of lime and a dash of fish sauce. Mix all the ingredients. Cook for 1 minute. Place cooked chicken on plate and top with Thai salad.
