Recipe Notes
  1. In a plastic zip top bag, mix the coconut milk, salt, pepper, 21 seasoning salute, and curry powder.
    1. This "21 seasoning salute" is a great mix of herbs and spices from Trader Joes - love this stuff
  2. Add in the chicken breasts and marinate at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
  3. Heat up a grill pan, and cook chicken for 15-20 minutes until fully cooked.
  4. Meanwhile, cook soba noodles according to package directions.  Drain under cold water.
  5. Make the dressing:  Mix the rice wine vinegar, coconut aminos (you can use soy sauce or tamari sauce instead), lemon juice, Dijon mustard, sriracha, garlic powder and cumin.
  6. Mix the dressing with the cooled soba noodles and add in coleslaw mix.
  7. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, slice into small strips, and add into the soba noodle and coleslaw mixture.
  8. Add the cashews, cilantro, and red onion.
    1. totally option, but you can toast them in a hot, dry skillet for a few minutes for an extra nutty fragrance)
  9. Mix and serve at room temp or cold!
