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.

2 medium scallions, finely chopped
½ cup chopped salted peanuts (you can also leave them whole)

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect balance of flavors, use smooth, creamy peanut butter instead of crunchy varieties.
  • To add a touch of extra richness, try using toasted peanut butter for a more pronounced nutty flavor.
  • If you prefer a sweeter dressing, add an additional tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.
  • For a spicier version, increase the amount of Sriracha sauce or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • Adjust the consistency of the dressing by adding more or less water to achieve your desired thickness.
  • For a healthier option, use reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Serve over salads, stir-fries, rice bowls, or as a dipping sauce for appetizers.
