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

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:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your salad. Look for fresh, crisp vegetables, and flavorful chicken.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through, then remove it from the heat and let it cool.
  • Shred the chicken into small pieces: This will help the chicken absorb the dressing and make it easier to eat.
  • Use a light and flavorful dressing: A heavy dressing will overpower the other ingredients in the salad. A simple dressing made with rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger is a good option.
  • Add some crunch: Adding some crunchy vegetables, such as chopped carrots, celery, or cucumbers, will add texture and flavor to the salad.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Chinese chicken salad is best served immediately after it is made. The dressing will start to wilt the vegetables if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Chinese chicken salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With its combination of fresh vegetables, flavorful chicken, and light dressing, Chinese chicken salad is a surefire hit.
