Wskazówki

Preheat the oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Make the crispy rice: Add the rice to the sheet pan and drizzle with oil and soy sauce. Toss to coat and spread into a single layer. Bake for 30-40 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden brown and very crispy. Allow it to cool slightly when it’s done. Make the dressing, chop, and assemble the salad while it's cooking to maximize time.

Combine the dressing: Add all of the dressing ingredients to a medium bowl or jar. Whisk or shake until completely combined.

Assemble the salad: Add the cabbage, carrots, green onion, edamame, mandarin oranges, chicken, and almonds to a bowl. Finish with the crispy rice. Pour the dressing over top right before serving and toss well. Serve with more green onions, fresh cilantro and sesame seeds.
