Instructions
Bring pot of salted water to a boil. Bring separate large pot with stock and coconut milk to a simmer.
Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper; add to simmering milk and stock. Chicken should be half way to two-thirds submerged. Cook for 6 minutes on one side over medium heat, then flip, and cook until chicken registers 145° to 150°F on an instant read thermometer, about 8 minutes longer. Cover the pot if the liquid is reducing too much.
Let cool slightly, then shred meat with two forks into large chunks.
Meanwhile, blanch string beans and asparagus in boiling salted water until just bright green, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Drain and run under cold water.
Whisk together soy sauce and vinegar. Toss together cabbage, beans and asparagus and chicken with soy dressing. Scatter cashews over top.
Transfer to an airtight container until ready to eat.
