  • Making this tasty Asian-style salad isn't complicated. First, prep your ingredients. Start with the chicken hearts: rinse them well under running water, put them in a small pot, cover them completely with water, and salt it lightly. Cook the hearts, covered, until tender—about 35–40 minutes. Drain off the liquid and spread the hearts on a wide flat plate to cool completely. Peel the onion, rinse it under cool water, and pat it dry with a clean towel. Halve the onions, then slice each half into thin half-moons. Put half of the sliced onion in a bowl, sprinkle with sugar, and add the water and rice vinegar. Let it pickle for 15 minutes. Wash and peel the carrots, then cut them into matchsticks. Cut the cooled chicken hearts into matchsticks of about the same size. Put both the carrots and hearts in a large salad bowl. Peel the garlic and finely chop it with a knife. Add the garlic to the bowl with the carrots and hearts. Squeeze the pickled onion dry and add it, too. Sprinkle everything with salt, sugar, and paprika, and add the coriander seeds. Stir well, then pour in the rice vinegar and drizzle the oyster sauce over everything. Stir well again. Set a small skillet over medium heat, pour in the vegetable oil, and heat it. When it's hot, add the remaining (raw) onion and fry until soft and translucent. Pour the salad onto the hot onion, scrape in the rest of the oil, and mix everything well. Chill the salad overnight—or, if you don't have the time (or the patience ;), at least 40–60 minutes. Then it's ready to serve. Enjoy!
