2 tbsp. packed finely grated palm sugar or light brown sugar
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 kg cooked chicken breast, shredded
2 tbsp. fish sauce
2 tbsp. roughly chopped caraway leaf
2 tbsp. roughly chopped saw leaf herb
1 1⁄2 tbsp. roughly chopped basil
1 tbsp. fresh lime juice
Pineapple, cucumber, and water lily slices, for serving
Mint and basil leaves, for serving
Directions
Heat a small skillet over high heat. Place the garlic and shallots in the skillet and cook, turning, until charred on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the garlic and shallots to a cutting board and let cool. Peel and discard the skins and then roughly chop the garlic and shallots.
With a mortar and pestle, pound the dried shrimp until finely ground. Add the chopped garlic and shallots along with the mango, peanuts, sugar, and salt and pound until well combined. Stir in chicken, fish sauce, caraway leaf, saw leaf, basil, and lime juice until evenly mixed. Transfer the salad onto a plate and serve with pineapple, cucumber, water lily, and mint and basil leaves.
