Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 0.25 cup creamy peanut butter; 2 tbsp less-sodium soy sauce; 2 tbsp rice vinegar; 1 piece fresh ginger (1-inch piece, finely chopped); 1 clove garlic (Finely chopped); 2 tbsp warm water (Add a tablespoon at a time; use 2 to 4 tablespoons, as needed, until the dressing is saucy but still creamy); 12 oz green or Napa cabbage (Thinly sliced; about 6 cups, or one 12- to 14-ounce bag of slaw blend); salt (A pinch, for seasoning the cabbage); 3 cup cooked shredded chicken (From 1 rotisserie chicken or two poached breasts); 2 mini seedless or Persian cucumbers (Thinly sliced); 0.5 cup roasted unsalted peanuts (Roughly chopped); 3 scallions (Thinly sliced); 1 pack nori snacks (Crush in your hands before adding)

Steps

In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, stir together the peanut butter, less-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, finely chopped ginger, and finely chopped garlic.
Add warm water 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring after each addition, until the dressing is saucy but still creamy. Use 2 to 4 tablespoons total.
Place the thinly sliced cabbage in a large bowl and season it with a pinch of salt.
Squeeze the salted cabbage gently until it has wilted slightly.
Add the cooked shredded chicken to the cabbage.
Add the thinly sliced cucumbers and prepared peanut dressing to the bowl.
Toss the cabbage, chicken, cucumbers, and dressing together until evenly combined. The slaw may be prepared up to this point up to 1 day ahead.
Top the slaw with the roughly chopped peanuts and sliced scallions.
Crush the nori snacks in your hands and add the pieces to the salad.

Notes

For a vegan option, replace the chicken with a combination of shelled edamame, baked tofu, bean sprouts, and cooked whole grains. The source states that the slaw can be made up to the point before adding the peanuts, scallions, and nori up to 1 day ahead.
