Asian Chicken Salad
Shredded cabbage and chicken tossed in a sesame-ginger dressing, with the crunchy toppings held back until the last second. Cabbage keeps absorbing dressing, so some is reserved to add after it sits.

Ingredients
Method
- Shake the rice vinegar, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, vegetable oil, honey, fresh ginger, garlic, and chili garlic sauce together in a jar until the honey dissolves and the dressing emulsifies.
- Toss the shredded napa cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, red bell pepper, green onions, and fresh cilantro together in a very large bowl.
- Add the cooked chicken and pour over about two-thirds of the dressing, tossing with your hands so every shred is coated.
- Let the salad sit 10 minutes, then taste and add the rest of the dressing if the cabbage has drunk up what is there.
- Scatter the toasted sliced almonds, crispy chow mein noodles, and sesame seeds over the top only as you serve it, since they soften within minutes of touching the dressing.
Notes
- Cut the cabbage as fine as you can; thick shreds stay tough and shed the dressing.
