Ingredients
1 teaspoon grated lime zest, plus 3 tablespoons fresh juice (from 1 to 2 limes)
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce, such as Mae Ploy
2 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro, plus whole leaves for serving
Kosher salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup each shredded cabbage and carrots, or 2 cups store-bought coleslaw mix
2 mini cucumbers, thinly sliced (1 cup)
10 ounces rice vermicelli
1 1/2 cups sliced cooked chicken (preferably breast meat)
Chopped roasted peanuts and sliced red or green serrano chiles, for serving
Preparation
Whisk together lime zest and juice, chili sauce, ginger, cilantro, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk in oil. Toss cabbage, carrots, and cucumbers with 1/4 cup dressing; let stand at least 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook noodles in boiling water until al dente (about 4 minutes); drain. Rinse under cold water, then drain again. Toss with 1/4 cup dressing. Serve noodles topped with cabbage salad and chicken. Drizzle with more dressing. Sprinkle with peanuts, chiles, and cilantro leaves.
