Orange Sesame Chicken Salad |
Ingredients:20 square wonton wrappers 2 3/4 cups vegetable oil, divided 1 head romaine lettuce, cut into bite-sized pieces (about 8 cups) 1/4 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice 2 tablespoons sugar 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil 3 to 4 cups coarsely shredded cooked, rotisserie chicken 1/2 cup chopped green onions 2 nave, Cara Cara or Valencia oranges, peeled and segmented 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
Directions:Cut wanton wrappers into 1/2-inch-wide strips and separate on paper towels. Heat 1/2 cups vegetable oil in a large, wide saucepan over medium heat. Fry the wanton strips, 5 or 6 at a time, gently turning over once with a slotted spoon, until golden, 10 to 15 seconds per batch. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
Put romaine in a large salad bowl. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lemon juice, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper. Add sesame oil and remaining 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a slow stream, whisking until the sugar is dissolved and the dressing is well blended.
In a third bowl, combine chicken, green onions, orange segments, almonds and sesame seeds. Add 1/3 cup of dressing and toss to coat. Toss romaine with enough dressing to lightly coat. Add the chicken mixture and toss lightly. Top with fried wanton strips and serve.
