Chinese Chicken Cabbage Salad

Ingredienser

Salad Ingredients

¼ red cabbage + ¼ white cabbage, finely shredded (can use either or combine them)

1 large carrot, julienned or grated

1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (any color)

roast chicken, shredded (~1 breast)

Toppings

Sesame seeds + chopped nuts (almonds, peanuts, cashews - whatever you got)

Sliced green onion (green part) - optional

Sliced fresh chili peppers (optional)

Dressing

3 tbsp hoisin sauce

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp bottled lime juice + 1 tbsp rice vinegar

(or juice of 1 fresh lime instead)

1 tbsp honey

1½ tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated

1 tbsp sriracha (adjust to taste)

½ tsp sesame oil

Whisk everything together until smooth. Taste and adjust — add a touch more honey if you want it sweeter or a splash more lime/vinegar if you want extra brightness.

Vejledning

Finely shred the cabbages, carrot, and bell pepper. Add to a large bowl.

Add shredded chicken.

Whisk everything for the dressing together until smooth. Taste and adjust — add a touch more honey if you want it sweeter or a splash more lime/vinegar if you want extra brightness. Pour over the dressing and toss well to coat everything evenly.

Toast nuts/seeds in a pan without oil. Top salad with toasted sesame seeds, cashews, almonds, and optional green onion.

Serve immediately or let it sit 10–15 minutes to soften slightly and soak up flavor.
