Spicy Chicken Salad Recipe

Vegetarian Variations

You can easily turn this dish into a vegetarian delight by replacing chicken with tempeh or tofu. For best results, steam the tempeh for approximately 10 minutes before marinating with simple, complementary flavors, then pan-fry or bake. Alternatively, you can simply omit the protein.

Flavors of Southeast Asia

Transport yourself to the bustling streets of Bangkok and the serene beaches of Koh Phi Phi with exotic dishes such as this Spicy Chicken Salad. At the heart of many Thai and Southeast Asian dishes lies savory peanut sauce, which boasts a nutty and profoundly umami-rich profile. This region's cuisine, though highly diverse, can be generally characterized by offering bold flavors. Key ingredients include:

• Curry

• Coconut milk

• Chili

• Ginger

• Turmeric

• Garlic

The boldness of ingredients like chili and ginger intertwines with the creamy richness of coconut milk, while the depth of garlic and turmeric adds layers of complexity and flavor to every dish. Rice is, of course, an omnipresent staple in Southeast Asian meals and plays an integral role in balancing these flavors and completing dishes.
