Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 large whole chicken breasts
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 lb fresh Chinese egg noodles
1 1/2 teaspoons peanut oil
3 tablespoons white sesame seeds or 3 tablespoons black sesame seeds
1/4 cup finely-julienned red bell pepper
1 cup finely-julienned peeled carrot
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves (fresh coriander)
1 small cucumber, cut into 2-inch julienne
2 teaspoons peanut butter
2 teaspoons asian sesame paste
2 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup dark soy sauce
1/3 cup Chinese red vinegar or 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons peanut oil or 2 tablespoons corn oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon chili oil (to taste)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1/4 cup chopped green onion (spring)
1/4 cup chopped dry roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • Fill a large saucepan three-fourths full with water and bring to a boil.
  • Add the chicken breasts and return to a boil, skimming off any scum that forms on the surface, then immediately reduce the heat to low.
  • Simmer, uncovered, until tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Drain and let cool.
  • Remove the skin from the chicken breasts, bone the breasts and hand shred the meat with the grain into strips about 1/2 inch thick and 2 inches long.
  • Refill the large saucepan three-fourths full with water.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat and add the salt.
  • Gently pull the strands of noodles apart, then drop them into the boiling water, stirring to separate the strands.
  • When the water comes to a second boil, boil for 1 minute longer.
  • Pour the noodles into a colander and rinse thoroughly with cold running water.
  • Drain thoroughly and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Toss with the peanut oil to keep the noodles from sticking together.
  • Set aside.
  • If using white sesame seeds, toast them in a small, dry frying pan over medium heat until golden and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  • If using black sesame seeds, leave them untoasted.
  • In a large bowl, toss together the chicken, bell pepper, carrot, cilantro and toasted or raw sesame seeds.
  • Arrange the cooked noodles in a wide shallow bowl.
  • Scatter the cucumber over the noodles and top with the chicken mixture.
  • Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • To make the dressing, in a small bowl, stir together the peanut butter, sesame paste, sugar, soy sauce and vinegar. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the peanut or corn oil, sesame oil and chili oil.
  • When hot, add the garlic, ginger and green onion; saute gently until fragrant but not browned, about 15 seconds.
  • Stir in the peanut butter-sesame paste mixture and cook until the mixture begins to form a light syrup, about 1 minute.
  • Remove from the heat and let cool to lukewarm.
  • Pour the warm dressing over the chicken salad and sprinkle with the peanuts.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken should be cooked through, but still juicy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your salad. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients.
  • Make your own red chile peanut dressing. It's easy to make and much more flavorful than store-bought dressing.
  • Serve the salad immediately after dressing it. This will prevent the dressing from making the salad soggy.

Conclusion:

Chinese chicken salad with red chile peanut dressing is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make salad. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also great for potlucks and parties. With its flavorful dressing and variety of textures, this salad is sure to please everyone.
