Napa is a crisp, mild, easy-to-chop relative of green cabbage, a smart base for any salad or slaw.
Ingredients
1 small rotisserie chicken
4 cups thinly sliced napa cabbage
1 large carrot, peeled and cut into matchsticks
1 mini cucumber, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
1/3 cup lime juice
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp hot-chili-garlic sauce
1 tbsp fish sauce
1/2 cup crispy fried shallots
Instructions
REMOVE meat from chicken. Discard skin and bones. Shred chicken meat with 2 forks or your fingers. You will have about 3 cups. Combine chicken with cabbage, carrot, cucumber, cilantro and mint in a large bowl.
WHISK lime juice with brown sugar, chili-garlic sauce and fish sauce in a small bowl until sugar dissolves. Drizzle over salad. Toss to coat. Divide among 4 plates. Sprinkle with shallots.
