Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
1 cup frozen shelled edamame
2 oranges
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon Sriracha
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 large head iceberg lettuce, chopped
2 cups watercress, trimmed
1 cup crunchy chow mein noodles
2 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (about 12 ounces)
1 cup shredded carrots (about 2 carrots)

Steps:

  • Bring a small saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the edamame and cook until tender and bright green, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water; set aside.
  • Cut the top and bottom off each orange, then cut off the peel and white pith. Holding an orange over a small bowl to catch the juice, cut along the membranes to remove the orange segments, letting them fall into the bowl. Squeeze any juice from the membranes into the bowl. Repeat with the other orange.
  • Whisk the peanut butter, 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons of the orange juice, the soy sauce, vinegar, Sriracha and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Toss the lettuce, watercress and half of the chow mein noodles in a large bowl. Divide among plates and drizzle with half the dressing. Top with the chicken, edamame, carrots, orange segments and remaining noodles. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with the remaining dressing.

4 split chicken breasts (bone-in, skin-on)
Good olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound asparagus, ends removed, and cut in thirds diagonally
1 red bell pepper, cored and seeded
2 scallions (white and green parts), sliced diagonally
1 tablespoon white sesame seeds, toasted
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup good apple cider vinegar

¼ cup rice vinegar
¼ cup sesame oil
3 green onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons ground ginger
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
¼ medium head shredded green cabbage
¼ medium head shredded red cabbage

½ bunch cilantro, coarsely chopped leaves
½ cup slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Whisk together the rice vinegar, sesame oil, 3 green onions, garlic, sugar, ginger, soy sauce, vegetable oil, coriander, and mustard in a mixing bowl until the sugar has dissolved. Pour half of the dressing into another container, and refrigerate for later. Place the chicken breasts into the remaining dressing, and coat on all sides. Cover, and refrigerate 30 minutes to 1 hour.

CHINESE CHICKEN SALAD WITH PEANUT, GARLIC, AND ORANGE DRESSING



Chinese Chicken Salad With Peanut, Garlic, and Orange Dressing image

Cabbage, orange segments, dry ramen noodles, peanuts, and chicken are tossed in a sweet and salty, tart and tangy dressing. This recipe is an improvement of one of my mother's favorites; your family is sure to love it too!

Provided by Waylando

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 large bowl, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 head green cabbage, finely chopped
1 head red cabbage, finely chopped
3 tablespoons kosher salt
2 navel oranges, peeled and cut into wedges (supremes)
3 ounces Top Ramen noodles, crumbled
3/4 lb cooked chicken, cooled and diced (about 2 whole breasts)
5 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons canola oil or 2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 cup dry-roasted unsalted peanuts
5 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons mustard
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 tablespoon garlic and red chile paste (I like Huy Fong brand, you could also use Sriracha)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In the basket of a salad spinner, toss the cabbage with the 3 tablespoons of salt. Let sit for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. The idea is to draw out some of the water inside the cabbage and make it less crunchy, but not to let it get too salty. Once the cabbage has given up a about a quarter cup of water and looks wet, it's time to rinse (Step 7).
  • Meanwhile, heat the canola oil in a medium saucepan. Once the oil starts to shimmer, add the peanuts. Cook over medium heat until the peanuts begin to toast and turn brown. Take the pan off the heat and fish out the peanuts, saving them to put in the salad later.
  • Return the oil to the heat and add the garlic. Saute for 1 - 2 minutes, or until fragrant (but not burned - if the garlic and ginger start to turn brown, add some water to the pan - when it cooks off, the garlic and ginger will be cooked through). Add the mustard, peanut butter, and garlic chili paste. Whisk to combine.
  • Add the soy sauce and brown sugar while whisking over medium heat. Keep whisking until the sugar is fully dissolved (just a minute or two) then add the orange juice. Remove from heat.
  • Add the vinegar, Sesame oil, and pepper to taste (you probably won't need to add any extra salt).
  • Pour the dressing into a measuring cup or bowl, cover, and cool in the fridge until ready to add to the salad.
  • Rinse the cabbage in several changes of cold water, or until it does not taste overly salty. Dry in the salad spinner and pour into mixing bowl.
  • Sprinkle the crumbled ramen noodles, green onions, chicken, and orange segments on top of the cabbage. Pour half of the dressing over the top, toss to combine.
  • Allow diners to drizzle the remaining dressing over their own salads to taste. Bon Appetit!
