How to Make Thai Chicken Feet Salad (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Thai Chicken Feet Salad, locally known as 'Kerabu Kaki Ayam', is a unique and vibrant dish often enjoyed in Malaysia, especially in northern regions like Kedah and Penang, where Thai influences are strong. This salad combines tender, gelatinous chicken feet with a medley of fresh herbs and spices, creating a refreshing and tangy meal packed with flavor. The dish is typically served chilled, making it ideal for Malaysia’s tropical climate and as a light lunch option. Kerabu Kaki Ayam is a testament to Malaysia’s multicultural cuisine, blending Thai techniques with locally sourced ingredients such as serai (lemongrass), daun limau purut (kaffir lime leaves), and cili padi (bird’s eye chili). The salad balances spicy, sour, and sweet flavors, and is often shared during festive gatherings or as a healthy midday meal.
