Method

  1. 1 Boil the chicken for 20 minutes, then immediately soak it in ice water for 10 minutes to make the skin crispy and the meat firm.
  2. 2 Tear the chicken into thick strips by hand, then use a knife to cut it into small pieces and make sure it's not soaked in the dressing.
  3. 3 Soak thinly sliced onions in ice water for 10 minutes to reduce their pungency, then drain them well.
  4. 4 Mix the chicken with onions, coriander, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, and chili peppers.
  5. 5 Wrap the rice paper with lettuce and shredded chicken, then dip it in a lime and chili fish sauce.
