subheading: Dressing and Marinade:

¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce: Provides a savory umami base, balancing the flavors.

2 Tbsp finely minced ginger: Adds a spicy, pungent kick that’s essential to the dressing.

3 Tbsp canola oil: Ensures the dressing emulsifies properly, adding a mild flavor that doesn’t overpower.

2 Tbsp hoisin sauce: Offers sweetness and depth, complementing the ginger and soy sauce.

1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil: Brings a nutty, rich dimension. Using regular sesame oil as a substitute still adds sesame flavor.

1 tsp Sriracha: Introduces a mild heat; adjust according to your spice preference.

½ tsp salt, more to taste: Essential for enhancing the overall flavor profile of the dressing.

¼ cup red wine vinegar: Adds acidity, brightening up the dressing and providing contrast.

¼ cup chopped green onions: Offers a mild, slightly sweet onion flavor that complements the dressing.

subheading: Salad:

2 (9 oz) boneless skinless chicken breasts: The protein component, offering a lean yet flavorful base.

1 lb napa cabbage: Provides a crisp, slightly sweet backdrop for the other salad components.

1 ½ to 2 cups matchstick carrots: Adds color, sweetness, and crunch.

⅔ cup slivered or sliced almonds, toasted: Introduces a nutty crunch and visual appeal.

½ cup cilantro leaves, chopped: Brings a fresh, citrusy note that elevates the salad.

3 chopped green onions: Enhances the salad with a mild onion flavor and a touch of color.

1 tsp white sesame seeds, toasted: Adds a delicate nutty flavor and decorative touch.

1 tsp black sesame seeds: Provides a striking visual contrast and additional sesame flavor.
