Categories: Salad

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts, halved lengthwise
  • 4 slices peeled fresh ginger
  • 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 3 tbsp peanut oil
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Sriracha
  • 1/2 head napa cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 2 carrots, grated
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, torn
  • 1/3 cup chopped salted peanuts

Directions

  1. Combine the chicken and ginger in a medium saucepan and cover with water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Drain and transfer the chicken to a cutting board.

  2. Meanwhile, make the dressing: Whisk the lime juice, peanut oil, brown sugar, soy sauce and Sriracha in a small bowl; set aside.

  3. Combine the cabbage, carrots, and mint in a large bowl. Add all but 2 tbsp of the dressing and toss to coat.

  4. Thinly slice the chicken. Top each serving of salad with the chicken and peanuts; drizzle with the remaining dressing.
