How to choose fresh and delicious cabbage
- For cabbage used in salads, you should choose heads that are medium-sized, round, with dark green or deep purple color, firm skin, and a certain weight when held.
- Avoid choosing heads that are pale white, flat or oval-shaped, with bruised skin, not intact, and feel light. Because these may be old, fibrous, overripe, and not tasty anymore.

Prepare and mix the cabbage
Peel off some of the outer old leaves of the cabbage, then slice it thinly, wash it clean, and drain.
Put the sliced cabbage into a bowl, add about 2 teaspoons of salt, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and mix the cabbage with the seasoning using your hands.
Next, add 1/2 tablespoon of vinegar, 1/2 tablespoon of water, and 1 teaspoon of sugar to the cabbage, and mix well by hand.
Tip:- Mixing cabbage with salt and sugar helps to draw out excess water, making it easier to absorb the seasoning and create a tangy flavor.
- Additionally, if you don’t like sour cabbage, after slicing it thinly, you can soak it in ice water to make it crispy.
-
Mix the sauce
Add about 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of chili sauce, and 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard into a small bowl, and mix well to combine.
-
Prepare and marinate the chicken
Take the chicken thighs, rub them with salt, then rinse with clean water and let them drain.
Next, use a knife to remove the bones and skin from the chicken. Marinate the chicken with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper, rubbing evenly on both sides of the chicken and let it sit for 15 minutes to absorb the seasoning.
-
Breading and frying chicken
First, roll the chicken in flour, beat 1 egg, then dip the chicken in it. After that, roll the chicken in breadcrumbs.
Place a pan on the stove, add oil to the pan, and heat over medium heat. When the oil starts to heat up, add the chicken to the pan, gently stir until the chicken is evenly golden, then turn off the heat and remove the chicken to drain the oil.
-
Assembling the sandwich
Cut off the 4 edges of the sandwich bread.
Spread some sauce on both sides of the bread, add some mixed cabbage and the fried chicken on top of one slice of bread.
Finally, place the remaining slice on top and gently press down.
-
Finished Product
The chicken is fried to a golden brown, crispy texture. The cabbage is crunchy, with a sweet and sour taste that pairs perfectly with the rich, spicy sauce, making the sandwich even more appealing and delicious.
How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Chicken
- Good chicken will have a characteristic golden skin color. The outer skin is thin, smooth to the touch, not too rugged, and has good elasticity.
- The meat inside should have a natural pink-red color, not too pale or too dark. Especially, the chicken should have no bruises or blood clots. Parts of meat that are slightly pale or turning dark gray indicate that the chicken may have died before being processed.
- If buying pre-packaged chicken, be sure to closely check the expiration date and packaging date, and check whether the bag’s seal is intact.
