Ingredients

1 chicken breast, cooked and shredded (300 g.)
1 Chinese cabbage
1 tangelo (tangerine), peeled and segmented
1 cup shredded purple cabbage (about 100 g)
1 cup spiralized carrots (about 100 g)
2 cups shredded lettuce (about 100 g)
3 scallions, thinly sliced
½ packet of ramen noodles, crushed (discard seasoning packet) (about 50 g.)
¼ cup peanuts (about 60 g)
For the dressing:
¼ cup soy sauce (about 60 ml)
1 teaspoon stevia (about 30 ml)
1 tablespoon sesame oil (about 15 ml)
1 tablespoon grated ginger (about 15 g)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar (about 30 ml)
2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

Start by cooking the chicken breasts. You can grill, bake, or poach them until they're fully cooked. Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks and set aside.
Prep the Vegetables:
Purple and Chinese Cabbage: Remove any outer leaves and slice the cabbage into thin shreds using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer.
Carrots: Peel the carrots and use a julienne peeler, spiralizer, or a sharp knife to cut them into thin strips or matchsticks.
Lettuce: Wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels. Then, stack the leaves on top of each other, roll them tightly, and slice across into thin ribbons.
Scallions: Trim off the roots and any wilted parts. Slice the scallions thinly, both the white and green parts.
Tangelo: Peel the tangelo and remove any seeds. Segment the fruit by carefully cutting between the membranes to release the individual segments. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared shredded cabbage, carrots, lettuce, and sliced scallions.
Add the cooked and shredded chicken to the bowl with the vegetables.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing: soy sauce, stevia, sesame oil, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and minced garlic.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Toss everything together until the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.
Just before serving, add the crushed ramen noodles and tangelo segments to the salad and toss again to combine.
Sprinkle the peanuts over the top of the salad for an extra crunch. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Chinese Chicken Salad!
