Hearty yet refreshing - this plant-based slaw is a delicious addition to any outdoor gathering or family celebration. Freshly chopped cabbage and crispy plant-based Chick'n are tossed with chow mein noodles, chopped scallions, carrots, ginger and peanuts. It's deeply savory, with a light and tangy twist. Enjoy it on a warm, summer day, as either a main dish or a satisfying side!

Method

  1. Cook the Chick'n according to its package instructions and set aside.

  2. Combine the cabbage, carrots, scallions and peanuts in a large bowl. 

  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil over medium heat in a medium-sized skillet. Add the Chick'n and cook on the stovetop until browned. Once cooked, add the Chick'n to the cabbage mixture. 

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, 2 teaspoons of sesame oil, soy-free soy sauce, vinegar, lime juice, ginger, chili garlic sauce, coconut sugar and water. Pour this over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine. 

  5. Just before serving, mix in the chow mein noodles and cilantro. Enjoy!
