Steps:
- Bring a small saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the edamame and cook until tender and bright green, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water; set aside.
- Cut the top and bottom off each orange, then cut off the peel and white pith. Holding an orange over a small bowl to catch the juice, cut along the membranes to remove the orange segments, letting them fall into the bowl. Squeeze any juice from the membranes into the bowl. Repeat with the other orange.
- Whisk the peanut butter, 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons of the orange juice, the soy sauce, vinegar, Sriracha and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Toss the lettuce, watercress and half of the chow mein noodles in a large bowl. Divide among plates and drizzle with half the dressing. Top with the chicken, edamame, carrots, orange segments and remaining noodles. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with the remaining dressing.

- Toast the peanuts. Toasting the peanuts will bring out their flavor and make them more aromatic.
- Use a variety of vinegars. Rice vinegar, balsamic vinegar, and white vinegar can all be used to make a delicious peanut dressing. Experiment to find your favorite combination.
- Add some sweetness. Honey, agave nectar, or maple syrup can all be used to add sweetness to your peanut dressing. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Season to taste. Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for peanut dressing. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or ginger powder, to taste.
- Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, or mint, can add a pop of freshness and flavor to your peanut dressing.
