Slice the red onion thinly and break up the segments.

Soak the sliced red onion in a bowl of water with a little apple cider vinegar to reduce harshness.

In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, 2.5 tablespoons of lime juice, and 1 tablespoon of palm sugar. Mix to dissolve the sugar.

Add chili flakes to the sauce mixture according to desired spice level, and then add 1 tablespoon of toasted rice.

Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and finely chop the stems.

Thinly slice the green onion.

Prepare the batter by mixing 300 grams of all-purpose flour and 50 grams of rice flour. Take a couple of spoons of this mixture into a separate bowl and add water to make a batter that is not too thick or runny.

Debone the chicken thighs and cut them in half.

Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon of chicken powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of white pepper. Mix well.

Coat the chicken in the dry flour mixture, then dip it in the batter, and return it to the dry flour mixture to coat again.

Heat vegetable oil over medium heat until hot but not burning.

Fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked to your liking, then drain.

In a bowl, combine the sauce mixture with the prepared vegetables: red onion, cilantro, and green onion. Mix well.

Slice the fried chicken and add it to the salad mixture. Stir gently to combine.
