Whisk together soy sauce, ginger, olive oil, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and Sriracha in a small bowl.
Place chicken in a large bowl and and add 3 tbsp of the marinade mixture and set the rest of the marinade aside.
Toss chicken around in the bowl to coat, then transfer to refrigerator and let rest at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 day.
To the remaining marinade, add red wine vinegar and 1 chopped green onion or leek and whisk.
Preheat a grill to medium heat. Brush grill lightly with oil, then place marinated chicken on grill and cook, about 4 minutes per side, or until chicken has cooked through (165°F).
Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. Then, cut chicken crosswise into strips about 1/4-inch thick.
In a large bowl toss together cabbage, chicken, carrots, almonds, 2 chopped green onions/leeks, and cilantro with enough dressing to coat salad. Sprinkle top with sesame seeds and serve.
To make this salad come together quickly, you can make the chicken/dressing or vegetables ahead of time. The dressing will keep for several days in the fridge. The chicken can be marinaded 1 day in advance.
