Ingredients
Chicken 500 g
Mangosteen 1 kg
Onion 1 piece
Carrot 1 piece
Vietnamese coriander (rau ram) 20 g
Roasted peanuts 20 g
Fried shallots 20 g
Lime, garlic, chili 1 portion
Seasonings: vinegar, sugar, fish sauce, salt 1 portion
Implementation Steps
01
Prepare the mangosteen:

Choosing mangosteen for salad: pick fruit that is just ripe with skin still green, so it's crunchy and both tart and sweet.
First soak the mangosteens in a basin of lightly salted water to wash off the sap, then use a sharp knife to slowly peel away the outer rind and take out the flesh. Rinse the flesh once more in salted water, then cut into bite-sized slices.

Next, mix a basin of water with ½ spoon sugar and ½ tablespoon vinegar, soak the mangosteen in it and keep it in the fridge so it stays crisp. Drain just before mixing the salad.
02
Prepare the chicken:

Clean the chicken thoroughly and put it in a pot. Add water to cover, 1 teaspoon salt and 2 shallots and boil for about 20 minutes. When the chicken is cooked, take it out, let it cool and shred it.
03
Other ingredients:

Peel, wash and slice the onion into rings. Peel, wash and julienne the carrot. Wash and finely chop the herbs, and slice the chilies.
04
Make the sweet and sour fish sauce
The dressing for chicken and mangosteen salad: juice of 1 lime, 3 spoons sugar, 1 spoon fish sauce, minced garlic and chili.

Dissolve the sugar in the lime juice, then add the fish sauce. Stir until well blended and add the minced garlic and chili.
05
Mix the salad

Combine the chicken, mangosteen and vegetables and toss as you would any salad. Drizzle over the fish sauce dressing and toss again. Finally, add the fried shallots and roasted peanuts, transfer to a plate and enjoy.
06
The finished dish
Chicken and mangosteen salad
Your chicken and mangosteen salad is ready. The key to success is choosing the right mangosteens – just-ripe fruit is perfect here, crunchy, tangy and sweet all at once.

All the ingredients come together with the fragrance of fresh herbs and the gentle heat of garlic and chili – one bite and you're hooked. Enjoy it on its own or with prawn crackers. Make it for your family and it'll be gone in no time!

Here's another recipe to liven up your family's everyday menu, so save it and make it for everyone to enjoy. Good luck with your chicken and mangosteen salad!
