Instructions
  1. We'll be using a food processor on medium shred for the cabbage, carrots and cucumbers.
  2. Combine sugar, rice wine vinegar, lime juice, fish sauce and oil. Stir well so sugar dissolves.
  3. Cut jalapeño in half and remove seeds and finely chop.
  4. Add jalapeño and garlic to liquid.
  5. Combine shredded vegetables—I use a large ziplock and only take out the amount needed to add dressing. This way you can make another salad the next day with coleslaw dressing.
  6. Lay out salad bowls and put in rice noodles, followed by shredded vegetable mixture then shredded chicken, drizzle on dressing and top with mint/cilantro mixture. The mint gives a nice fresh taste and grows wild in my garden. The cilantro can be optional. Enjoy.
