Simmer for 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Lift the chicken out of the water and leave until cool enough to handle.

  3. Shred the chicken and toss it into the salad with the herbs. Mix again, cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours (overnight is ideal).
  4. Then pound the garlic, chillies to a paste using a pestle and mortar. Mix in the fish sauce, vinegar and 2 tbsp water. 
  5. To serve, toss the salad. Scatter mint leaves on a plate, pile the salad on top and sprinkle with peanuts.
