The Asian Style Braised Chicken Salad is a flavorful and healthy twist on the classic chicken salad. The dish is influenced by the bold flavors of Asia, and the result is a deliciously tender and juicy take on the traditional chicken salad. The tenderness of the chicken pairs perfectly with the crunch of the fresh vegetables and the softness of the noodles. This is a great dish to serve for a hot summer day or as a party dish for friends and loved ones. It's a fantastic way to enjoy a flavorful and healthy meal that's both easy to make and delicious.

Instructions

1.Preheat a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
2.Add the chopped garlic and black pepper, saute for a few seconds until fragrant.
3.Add the vegetable oil, then add water, soy sauce, ketjap manis, oyster sauce, five spice powder, onion, chopped ginger, and curry paste. Stir well, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
4.Season chicken drumsticks and thighs with salt and pepper, and then add them to the pot. Allow it to cook for at least 30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
5.Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside to cool on a plate, covered with cling film.
6.Increase the heat to high and reduce the liquid by half to make a sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
7.In a separate pan, heat the extra vegetable oil over high heat. Add the cooled chicken and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until nicely browned and crispy.
8.Toss the salad leaves, coriander, sliced capsicum, sliced green onion, red onion, tomato, avocado, and blanched asparagus together in a large bowl. Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cooked chicken, then add it to the salad mixture.
9.Top the salad with the prepared Hokkein noodles, then pour the reduced braising liquid over the top. Serve immediately.
