Method

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine rice vinegar, sesame oil, 3 green onions, garlic, sugar, ginger, soy sauce, vegetable oil, coriander, and mustard. Whisk until the sugar has dissolved.

  2. Transfer half of the dressing to another container and refrigerate for later use.

  3. Place the chicken breasts in the remaining dressing, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

  4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  5. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.

  6. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish.

  7. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until it is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  8. Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to cool.

  9. Using 2 forks, shred the chicken and set it aside.

  10. In a large mixing bowl, combine the green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, 3 green onions, cilantro, almonds, and the cooled shredded chicken.

  11. Pour the reserved dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
