Toss the vegetables with dressing: Mix 3 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon each sesame seeds and grated ginger, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon each grated garlic and minced jalapeno, and salt to taste.

Steps:

Toss the chicken with 1/4 cup of the dressing in another bowl; let marinate 10 minutes at room temperature. Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard the marinade) and grill until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest 5 minutes. Meanwhile, toss the cabbage, carrot, scallions and snow peas with the remaining dressing in a large bowl. Cut the chicken into 1/2-inch pieces and toss with the salad. Season with salt.
