Instructions

  1. In a 12-inch skillet add your olive oil and set over medium-high heat.
  2. Once the oil is hot and shimmery add your chicken and let it sit for about 5 minutes to create little crispy bits on your chicken.
  3. Give it a gentle toss to crisp up the other sides of the shredded chicken.
  4. Remove from the heat and stir in grated ginger, lemongrass, and garlic.
  5. Toss to evenly distribute the flavors throughout the chicken.
  6. Let it cool slightly while you prepare the salad.
  7. In a large bowl add shredded red cabbage, shredded napa cabbage, minced parsley, cilantro mint, red onion, lime juice, lime zest, and matchstick apples.
  8. Add in the slightly cooled chicken and toss to combine.
  9. If the salad is too dry drizzle in just a few tablespoons of olive oil.
  10. Taste and season with the desired amount of kosher salt.
