Step 1

In a small jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine oil, vinegar, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil. Shake vigorously until combined.

Step 2

Allow flavors to blend at room temperature while preparing the rest of the salad. Or, refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the chicken, cabbage, carrots, scallions, and cilantro. Shake the dressing to recombine and pour over the salad.

Step 4

Toss until evenly coated. Sprinkle with chow mein noodles and sesame seeds, if using, and serve.
