Boil the chicken breast in salted water for 16 minutes, then let it rest for 8 minutes.
Finely shred the white cabbage and grate the carrots.
Massage the cabbage with half the salt for 5 minutes, then drain off the released liquid.
Whisk the lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar, crushed garlic, and chopped red chili.
Shred the chicken breast into fibers and mix it with the cabbage and carrots.
Add the mint, cilantro, dressing, and remaining salt, then toss the salad.
Coarsely crush the peanuts, sprinkle them over the salad, and serve.
💡 Tip: Massage the cabbage with salt for 5 minutes before dressing it; it loses volume without turning watery and soft.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve goi ga on a chilled plate as a light meal with optional rice crackers or plain rice.
