作法
- 2公升水加薑、香茅與鹽煮至微滾。加入雞腿；轉至幾乎不動的小火煮18分鐘。離火加蓋靜置10分鐘——餘溫完成熟成並保持嫩。
- 雞肉浸入冰水5分鐘。拍乾去骨，沿肌理撕絲——均勻指厚的條。
- 高麗菜絲拌1小匙鹽；靜置10分鐘。用力擠出多餘水分——軟掉的高麗菜會做出爛沙拉。洋蔥從冰水中瀝乾。
- 調醬汁：糖溶於溫水，加魚露、萊姆汁、大蒜與辣椒。試味——酸、甜、鹹、辣意。調整。
- 高麗菜、紅蘿蔔、瀝乾洋蔥、雞絲、越南香菜與泰國羅勒在大碗中混合。倒入醬汁用力拌60秒——每絲應發亮。
- 盛盤。慷慨撒油蔥酥與壓碎花生於頂部。立即上桌；一小時內高麗菜會出水使沙拉軟化。

文化背景
Goi ga是許多越南家庭農曆新年料理——雞是祭祖儀式的一部分，剩下的肉變成第二天午餐的沙拉。油蔥酥與花生頂飾是提升這道菜的質地對比；少了它就是普通沙拉，有了它是明顯越南風。越南香菜（rau ram）是香料招牌；只用香菜替代會把這道菜推向較通用的東南亞風味。
