In large non-reactive bowl, combine chicken, carrots, peas, scallions and ginger root.

Fluff rice with a fork and fold into chicken mixture.

Refrigerate 3 hours, or until completely chilled.

Dressing:
Meanwhile in small non-reactive bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients until sugar dissolves.

Pour over chilled rice mixture and toss to coat in ingredients well.

Serve on salad greens.
