Step 1
Rinse the 4 cups mung bean sprouts and 1 cup daikon sprouts in cold water, then drain well and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 1 tsp honey until the honey dissolves.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the drained sprouts, 2 cups cooked chicken breast (shredded or cubed), and 0.5 cup green mung beans (if using raw, soak in water for 30 minutes first; if cooked, add directly).
Step 4
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
Step 5
Let the salad sit for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld, then serve chilled or at room temperature.
