Make Salad

  • In a large bowl, massage kale with a drizzle of olive oil until softened, 30-60 seconds.

  • Add coleslaw mix, carrots, garlic-ginger scallion paste, half the cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice; season with salt and pepper.

Finish & Serve

  • Thinly slice chicken crosswise.

  • Divide salad between bowls. Top with chicken, peanut sauce, crispy fried onions, and remaining cilantro. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
