Instructions
Cook chicken breasts in a pot of boiling water. Add salt and ginger to water. Continue boiling, with covered, for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and let chicken sit in water until cooked through. Remove chicken from water to cool. Once chicken is cool enough to touch, tear it into bite-size pieces and set aside.
Whisk all ingredients for dressing together in a large bowl. When sugar is thoroughly dissolved, add chicken, cabbage, carrot, red onion, radicchio and mints and mix well.
Arrange salad on four plates and finish with cashews, fried shallots and chopped coriander.
