Ingredients
- 1-1/4 pounds chicken tenders
- 1/2 cup seasoned rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup peeled fresh ginger slices plus 1 tablespoon finely grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon dark sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

- 1 small (1-1/2 lbs.) napa cabbage, trimmed, leaves separated and stacked, halved crosswise and cut lengthwise into thin slices
- 1 yellow bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into thin strips
- 1 large carrot, cut into thin matchsticks
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- Rinse and pat chicken dry.
- Bring 4 cups water, 1/4 cup vinegar, the ginger slices, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce to boil in a large saucepan. Add chicken and simmer 1 minute. Remove pan from heat and let stand, covered, until chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain chicken and discard ginger slices. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and cut diagonally crosswise into thin slices.
