Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons Thai fish sauce for marinating chicken
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar to balance the flavors
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes for heat
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage for the slaw
  • 1 cup shredded carrots for the slaw
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/4 cup lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 8 sheets rice paper wrappers for wrapping

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, combine the chicken thighs, Thai fish sauce, brown sugar, red chili flakes, and minced garlic. Mix well and let marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  • In a separate bowl, toss together the shredded red cabbage, shredded carrots, chopped cilantro, and lime juice to create the crispy slaw. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  • To assemble, soak a rice paper wrapper in warm water for about 10-15 seconds until soft. Lay it flat and place a few strips of cooked chicken and a generous amount of crispy slaw in the center.
  • Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  • Serve the wraps with extra lime wedges and a side of peanut sauce or sweet chili sauce for dipping.

Notes

Tip 1: Ensure the rice paper wrappers are soaked just until soft to prevent tearing.
Tip 2: The chicken can be marinated the night before for deeper flavor.
Variation: Substitute chicken with shrimp or tofu for a different protein option.
