Ready In: 35 mins
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1⁄4 cup vegetable oil
- 1⁄4 lb snow peas
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- salt
- 2 scallions, cut into thin 1-inch julienne strips
- 10 ounces cabbage, shredded (like coleslaw mix)
Ginger-Miso Spice Paste
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely grated
- 1 tablespoon miso
- 2 garlic cloves, smashed
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (Chinese garlic-pepper paste like Sriracha)
- 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
Directions
- Make the Ginger-Miso Spice Paste by combining all of the ingredients in a bowl and mash to a paste.
- Light a grill. Make 1/4-inch-deep slashes in the chicken thighs. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the spice paste with 2 tablespoons of the oil and spread it all over the chicken. Grill the chicken over high heat until cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes. Let cool, then cut the chicken into thin strips.
- Meanwhile, bring a small saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the snow peas and blanch for 1 minute. Drain and rinse under cold water; pat dry. Slice in half lengthwise. In a large bowl, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons of paste with the lime juice and the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Season with salt. Add the snow peas, scallions, coleslaw mix and chicken, toss well and serve.
