Directions
- Season the chicken with salt and place in a medium saucepan. Cover with water and season generously with kosher salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until the chicken is very tender, about 40 minutes. Drain, discarding the water, and place the chicken in a large bowl to cool. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred it (using either your fingers or 2 forks). Set the chicken aside.
- Meanwhile, heat a small skillet over medium. Add the almonds and cook until lightly browned and toasted, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Whisk the vinegar and sesame oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then add reserved shredded chicken, the toasted almonds, the cabbage, cucumbers, cilantro, sesame seeds, and scallions and toss to coat. Season with more salt and pepper, if necessary, and serve topped with the crispy noodles.
