Directions
4 stepsCabbage
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, white parts of the green onions, carrots and salt. Let marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator (see chef’s tip).
Sauce
Step 1
In a personal blender, purée all of the ingredients until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Salad
Step 1
When ready to serve, combine half of the sauce with the cabbage salad. Adjust the seasoning. Divide the salad among four bowls. Top with the cooked chicken, peanuts and cilantro. Add a drizzle of the sauce, to taste. Sprinkle with the green parts of the green onions.
Chef’s tip
Step 1
For a quicker version, rather than letting the cabbage marinate for 2 hours, massage it with the white parts of the green onions, carrots and salt for 5 minutes.
