Carrot-Cucumber Sambal with Chicken Preparation
For Sambal- Combine cabbage, cucumbers, carrots, sprouts, onions and peanuts in a large bowl. Save the chicken for adding right before serving.
For Vinaigrette- Place brown sugar, lime juice, soy sauce, serrano, cilantro, gingerroot, molasses, and garlic in a food processor. With machine running slowly, drizzle in peanut oil until mixture is blended.
To Finish- Toss sambal with vinaigrette to coat, remembering to add the shredded chicken. The chicken will break down if left too long in the vinaigrette so add it just before serving. Season with salt if desired. Divide sambal among four plates. Garnish with cilantro leaves. Excellent served with fresh pineapple spears on the side.
