Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons very finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon sriracha Asian chili sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 (9 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup minced green onion (white and green parts)
1 lb napa cabbage, halved lengthwise, very thinly sliced crosswise
2 carrots, cut into matchstick-size strips (or shredded)
3 green onions, thinly sliced on a sharp diagonal (white and green parts)
2/3 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1 teaspoon white sesame seeds, toasted
1 teaspoon black sesame seed (optional)

Steps:

  • Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk soy sauce, ginger, canola oil, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, sriracha and salt to blend. Transfer 3 tablespoons of the marinade to a baking dish, add chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes, turning after 15 minutes.
  • Dressing: Whisk vinegar and green onions into the remaining marinade. Set aside.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, add to grill pan, and cook about 4 minutes per side or until chicken shows no sign of pink when pierced in the thickest part with the tip of a small sharp knife. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 15 minutes.
  • Cut chicken crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  • For the Salad: In a large bowl, toss chicken, cabbage, carrots, green onions, cilantro and half of the almonds with enough dressing to coat lightly.
  • Mound salad in center of 4 plates. Re-whisk dressing and drizzle a little over and around salad. Sprinkle with the remaining almonds and sesame seeds.

This salad was so easy to make and it turned out so delicious! I used pre-cooked chicken to save time and it still came out great. The dressing is simple but flavorful and the ginger and sesame seeds add a nice touch. I will definitely be making this
