Tips for Chicken
Tip
How to Store Chicken
Raw or cooked chicken can be stored in a refrigerator for a few days, though it’s important to prevent raw chicken juices from leaking and contaminating other foods. Ensure that chicken remains in its original packaging (which should be vacuum-sealed or tightly-wrapped) until it is ready to be cooked.

How to Freeze Chicken
While freezing will make your chicken less tender and juicy, it is the perfect way to store the family-sized pack you bought at Costco last weekend. Remove the chicken from its original packaging and rewrap it tightly using aluminum foil, plastic wrap, or freezer paper. Double wrap if you are planning to store the chicken for more than two months. Ground chicken can last up to three months in the freezer, while chicken pieces can last up to nine.

Tip
How to Thaw Chicken
You should never thaw chicken at room temperature, as it is highly susceptible to bacteria growth. Frozen chicken should either be thawed in the microwave, in the refrigerator, or in cold water (which should be changed every 30 minutes).

Instructions
To fry the shallot:
- 1Heat 3 tablespoons of the canola oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the sliced shallot and fry until crisp, about 5 minutes. (Don’t crowd the shallot slices—they should form a single layer in the oil. Fry in batches if necessary.) Transfer the fried shallots to a paper-towel-lined plate and set aside to drain.
To cook the chicken:
- 1Discard the shallot-frying oil and wipe the sauté pan clean. Add the remaining tablespoon of canola oil and set the pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the chicken and season with salt and the juice from 1 of the lime halves. Cook, breaking up the chicken with a wooden spoon, until the meat loses its color, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- 2Transfer the chicken to a large bowl. Immediately add the mixed lettuces, mint, cilantro, green beans, diced shallot, scallions, rice powder, fish sauce, Sriracha, Thai chile, and juice from the remaining lime half. Toss to combine well, and then taste, adding more salt if needed.
To serve:
- 1Spoon the chicken mixture into the cabbage cups and place 3 on each serving plate. Top with the fried shallots and serve.
