Time 1h45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/2 lbs. total)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 pinch cayenne pepper
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 inch piece fresh ginger, about 1 inch long, peeled and minced
1 bunch fresh cilantro leaves, leaves only (about 1 cup)
2 teaspoons butter
1/3 cup slivered almonds
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 head iceberg lettuce, chopped
3 medium carrots, peeled and grated
1 1/2 cups crisp chow mein noodles
1/3 cup toasted slivered almonds (or use 1/3 cup carmelized almonds from recipe above)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

Steps:

  • To Poach the Chicken: Put the breasts in a medium saucepan with the soy sauce and just enough water to cover chicken. Bring to a boil, cover, and remove from the heat. Let stand, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove the chicken breasts from the poaching liquid and reserve the liquid for another use. Let the chicken cool, then tear the meat into bite-sized pieces.
  • To Make the Dressing: Combine the mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, cayenne, garlic, ginger, and cilantro in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Caramelized Almonds: Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds and saute until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the brown sugar and stir to combine. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet, separating them. Set aside to cool. When completely cooled, the almonds will have a hard, candied coating.
  • To assemble the salad: In a large salad bowl, toss the chicken with the lettuce, carrots, noodles, and dressing. Top each serving with some of the caramelized almonds and sesame seeds.

CHINESE CHICKEN SALAD



Chinese Chicken Salad image

Ellen Chao from Manhattan Beach, CA, writes: "I make this salad when I entertain guests. It looks impressive and tastes delicious. My kids love it, too - especially with the fried wonton skins." When chicken Caesar loses appeal, this salad, with its soy dressing and fried wontons, is a substitute worth the betrayal.

Yield Makes 6 to 8 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

For fried wontons (optional)
20 square wonton wrappers, thawed if frozen
About 2 1/2 cups vegetable oil
For salad
1/2 pound snow peas, trimmed 1 lb Napa cabbage, cored, then cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-wide strips (about 6 cups)
1 pound Napa cabbage
1 (1-lb) head of romaine, torn into bite-size pieces (about 8 cups)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6 cups coarsely shredded cooked chicken (from a 2 1/2-lb rotisserie chicken)
1/2 cup chopped scallions
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
Special Equipment
a deep-fat thermometer (if making wontons)

Steps:

  • Make fried wontons:
  • Cut wonton wrappers into 1/2-inch-wide strips and separate on paper towels.
  • Heat 3/4 inch oil in a wide 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until it registers 350°F on thermometer. Fry strips, 5 or 6 at a time, gently turning over once with a slotted spoon, until just golden, 15 to 30 seconds per batch (some strips will fold and curl). Transfer to paper towels to drain, then season with salt.
  • Make salad:
  • Cook snow peas in a 4-quart pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking, then drain in a colander and pat dry. Cut diagonally into 1-inch-wide pieces and put in a large bowl with cabbage and romaine.
  • Whisk together soy sauce, lemon juice, sugar, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, then add sesame oil and vegetable oil in a slow stream, whisking until sugar is dissolved and dressing is combined well. Toss chicken and scallions with 1/3 cup of dressing in another large bowl. Whisk remaining dressing (it will separate), then add cabbage mixture, cilantro, almonds, and sesame seeds to chicken and toss with enough remaining dressing to coat. Sprinkle with wontons (if using).

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
  • If you don't have time to make the dressing from scratch, you can use a store-bought Asian dressing.
  • Be sure to chill the chicken and vegetables before assembling the salad. This will help them stay crisp.
  • For a gluten-free version of the salad, use gluten-free soy sauce and rice vinegar.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, assemble it and then store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just be sure to add the dressing right before serving.
