Directions

Remove outer leaves from cabbage, cut out core, and cut into thin slices not more than 1/4 inch thick; use a Mandoline Slicer to cut the cabbage if you have one. Cut sugar snap peas into thin diagonal slices or matchstick pieces and thinly slice green onions. Chop chicken into pieces about 1 inch square. Put ginger puree , garlic, cilantro , peanut butter , lemon juice, peanut oil, soy sauce , hot water, and sweetener of your choice in food processor. Pulse about one minute, until ingredients are well combined. Taste to see if you want more peanut butter. Put the chopped chicken into a large salad bowl with about half the dressing, then toss until all the chicken is coated with dressing. Add the cabbage, sugar snap peas, and sliced green onions and toss, adding more dressing as desired. Divide salad into individual serving bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro and almonds or peanuts.
