Vietnamese Five Spice Chicken with Herb Salad
Our resident Vietnamese expert Tung comes up trumps again with his dad’s version of a chicken stew - known in Vietnam as thit ga sot vang. It’s heavily flavoured with Chinese five spice and ginger and is served with a herby salad, crunchy caramelised peanuts and traditional French baguette to mop up all the juices (the use of baguettes is very common in Vietnam - a legacy left over from French colonisation).
