Chinese Chicken Salad

Ingredients:

• 12  3-inch wonton skins, sliced into 1/4″ strips
• 1/4 cup canola or corn oil for frying
• 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
• 1 chicken breast, shredded
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted lightly
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 cups cooked fusilli pasta noodles, cooled

dressing

• 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable or grapeseed oil
• 6 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (add more to taste if you prefer a strong sesame taste)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons light soy sauce
• 2 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

Method:

1. Heat canola or corn oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When oil starts to shimmer, fry wonton skins in batches of 5-7 strips for 30 seconds each side or until lightly browned, working quickly so they don’t burn. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels until cooled.
2. In a large bowl, combine lettuce, chicken breast, green onion, almonds and pasta.
3. Combine dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk well until sugar dissolves. Dress lettuce mixture with 2-3 tablespoons of sesame dressing and top with sesame seeds and wonton strips and serve.
