Hearty Cambodian Pan-Fried Chicken Salad

Assemble the ingredients: chicken, salt, cumin, garlic, bell pepper, paprika, turmeric.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the chicken and cook until pan-fried.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Cambodian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Cambodian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
