How to choose fresh chicken
For live chickens
- A healthy chicken will move actively and show agility.
- The feathers of healthy chickens will be smooth and shiny.
For processed chickens
- The meat of good chicken will have a characteristic golden skin color. The outer skin should be thin, smooth to the touch, not too rough, and have good elasticity.
- If buying pre-processed and packaged meat, carefully check the expiration date and packaging date.
- Check if the sealing of the bag is intact.
Prepare and boil chicken
Wash the chicken thoroughly with cold water and salt.
Place a pot of water on the stove, add 2 smashed lemongrass stalks and 1 sliced ginger root into the pot. Next, add 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 2 teaspoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, and 1 teaspoon of salt to the boiling water.
Add the chicken and boil for 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked. You can use chopsticks to poke into the meat to check; if you can pierce through the meat, the chicken is done.
Remove the chicken and let it cool in a bowl, then shred the chicken into small pieces to prepare for mixing the salad.
