Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 jalapeno chile, minced (ribs and seeds removed for less heat if desired)
3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
3 garlic cloves, minced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/4 cup dark-brown sugar
3/4 cup rice vinegar
4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken, skin and bones discarded (from 1 whole chicken), room temperature

1 English cucumber, cut into 3-inch sticks
2 cups fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add jalapeno, ginger, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until garlic is golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add sugar and vinegar and cook until sauce is slightly thickened, about 6 minutes. Refrigerate until cool, at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 week).
  • Combine chicken, noodles, cucumber, and cilantro. Drizzle with dressing just before serving.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I substituted parsley in this salad. It turned out great!

This recipe was a disaster! The dressing was too watery, and the chicken was dry.
