Cabbage and Chicken Salad with Gochujang and Sesame

Gochujang, ginger, scallions and sesame—core ingredients in the Korean kitchen—inject loads of flavor to a simple cabbage and shredded chicken salad. Gochujang, one of our pantry go-tos, is a fermented chili paste that packs spiciness, subtle sweetness, lots of umami and rich color in a single spoonful. Look for it in the international aisle of the supermarket or in Asian grocery stores. For convenience, use the meat from a rotisserie chicken; an average-size bird yields about 3 cups, the amount needed for this recipe.
