Crunchy slaw with a sesame-ginger dressing.
Equipment: Mixing bowl
Measures and names
Ingredients
- 2 cooked chicken breasts, shredded
- Shredded white and red cabbage
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 2 spring onions (scallions) and coriander (cilantro)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tsp ginger (dressing)
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- Pinch of chilli flakes (red pepper flakes)
Method
- Whisk the soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger and chilli flakes into a dressing.
- Toss the shredded cabbages, carrot, spring onion and coriander together in a large bowl.
- Add the shredded chicken.
- Pour over the dressing and toss thoroughly — slaw benefits from a few minutes to soften slightly.
- Scatter with toasted sesame seeds. Taste before adding salt; the soy dresses it.
Swaps and tips
Keep the carrot to a small amount to limit the carbs. A bag of ready-shredded slaw makes this even quicker. Use tamari instead of soy sauce to keep it gluten-free.
