Description

A vibrant, no-cookChinese salad with tender chicken, crisp cabbage, and shredded carrots in a bold sesame dressing. Balanced with savory, tangy, and nutty flavors for a restaurant-quality dish.


Ingredients

Scale

1 head Green cabbage, shredded raw or massaged
3 medium Carrots, shredded
2 tbsp Sesame oil (used in dressing)
1 tbsp Rice vinegar (enhances flavor)
2 cloves Garlic, minced
3 stems Scallions, sliced
1 tsp Red chili flakes (optional)


Instructions

Thinly slice cabbage and shred carrots. Add shredded cabbage to a bowl and massage for 1-2 minutes until softened
Blend 1 tbsp rice vinegar with 1 tbsp sesame oil, 2 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tbsp honey, and minced garlic in a small bowl until smooth
Add shredded carrots, scallions, and chicken to the cabbage bowl. Pour dressing over top and toss until evenly coated
