Steps:
- Cook bacon in a dry medium skillet over medium heat, turning slices occasionally, until brown and crisp, 5-8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels; let cool.
- Cook ginger in a small saucepan of boiling water 1 minute. Drain ginger and rinse under cold water; set aside.
- Whisk soy sauce, tahini, miso, fish sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and 2 Tbsp. lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
- Whisk egg yolk and remaining 2 Tbsp. lemon juice in a medium bowl to combine. Very gradually stream in 1/2 cup vegetable oil (almost drop by drop), whisking constantly until mayonnaise is emulsified and thick. Still whisking constantly, gradually add soy sauce mixture, then remaining 1/4 cup oil. Thin dressing with a tablespoon or two of water if needed; you want it to be the consistency of heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper.
- Toss chicken and 1/2 cup dressing in a large bowl to coat. Add lettuce and another 1/2 cup dressing and toss again; season with salt and pepper. Crumble bacon over.
- Transfer salad to a serving bowl or platter and drizzle another tablespoon or so of dressing over salad (you may have some left over). Top with scallions, sesame seeds, and reserved ginger.
- Do Ahead
- Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
