Instructions
Begin by soaking the raw aci crackers in hot water for about 10-15 minutes until soft. Drain and set aside.
Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
In a blender or food processor, combine the garlic, shallots, and bird's eye chilies to create a paste.
Heat the cooking oil in a wok or large pan over medium heat.
Add the garlic-chili paste and sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the chicken pieces into the pan and cook until they turn opaque.
Stir in the crushed lemongrass, sliced galangal, and kaffir lime leaves.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and bring it to a simmer.
Add the softened aci crackers, cabbage, and carrot. Cook until the vegetables are tender.
Push the ingredients to one side of the pan and crack the egg into the open space. Scramble the egg until cooked and incorporate it with the rest of the mixture.
Stir in the low-sodium soy sauce, sugar, and ground white pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Garnish with sliced spring onions before serving.
