ASIAN CHICKEN SALAD



Asian Chicken Salad image

A perfect salad for leftover BBQ, boiled, broiled or baked chicken. A very crunchy salad with a tasty sweet Asian-style dressing. The kids love it too! The Chinese rice noodles are of the cellophane type and can be found in the Asian section of most grocery stores. They are often in rectangle form and in clear packaging.

Categories     Salad     Green Salad Recipes

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
¼ cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 (8 ounce) package dried rice noodles
1 head iceberg lettuce - rinsed, dried, and chopped
4 boneless chicken breast halves, cooked and shredded
3 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

Steps:

  • Prepare the dressing 30 minutes ahead of time by combining the brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, salad oil, and rice vinegar in a salad dressing carafe.
  • To prepare the Chinese rice noodles, heat a skillet with a few tablespoons of oil and break off a little bit of the noodles and add them to the skillet and fry them. They will puff up in the skillet, so only add a few at a time. As they begin to puff up, remove and drain them on paper towels. Be sure to cook long enough as the under cooked noodles will be like eating needles. Once cooked, add them to the salad mixture.
  • In a large bowl combine the iceberg lettuce, cooked and shredded chicken, green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Let chill about 10 minutes, and just before serving add the cooked rice noodles. Serve in salad bowls and offer the dressing in a pourable container so your family can add as much dressing as they want. You can also pour the dressing over the top of the salad, toss, and serve immediately.

CHINESE CHICKEN SALAD



Chinese Chicken Salad image

From Firehouse Food cookbook courtesy of Terry Woo. This recipe includes a poaching method for ensuring succulent chicken for salads or sandwiches.

Provided by cookiedog

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/2 lbs. total)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 pinch cayenne pepper
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 inch piece fresh ginger, about 1 inch long, peeled and minced
1 bunch fresh cilantro leaves, leaves only (about 1 cup)
2 teaspoons butter
1/3 cup slivered almonds
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 head iceberg lettuce, chopped
3 medium carrots, peeled and grated
1 1/2 cups crisp chow mein noodles
1/3 cup toasted slivered almonds (or use 1/3 cup carmelized almonds from recipe above)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

Steps:

  • To Poach the Chicken: Put the breasts in a medium saucepan with the soy sauce and just enough water to cover chicken. Bring to a boil, cover, and remove from the heat. Let stand, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove the chicken breasts from the poaching liquid and reserve the liquid for another use. Let the chicken cool, then tear the meat into bite-sized pieces.
  • To Make the Dressing: Combine the mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, cayenne, garlic, ginger, and cilantro in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Caramelized Almonds: Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds and saute until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the brown sugar and stir to combine. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet, separating them. Set aside to cool. When completely cooled, the almonds will have a hard, candied coating.
  • To assemble the salad: In a large salad bowl, toss the chicken with the lettuce, carrots, noodles, and dressing. Top each serving with some of the caramelized almonds and sesame seeds.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make all the difference in the flavor of your Chinese chicken salad. Look for chicken that is free-range and organic, and use fresh, crisp vegetables.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken that is overcooked will be tough and dry. Cook it just until it is cooked through, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really brings a Chinese chicken salad together. Use a dressing that is flavorful and well-balanced, with a good combination of sweet, sour, and salty flavors.
  • Add some crunch: Chinese chicken salad is all about the crunch. Add plenty of crunchy vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and bell peppers. You can also add some toasted nuts or seeds for extra crunch.
  • Serve it fresh: Chinese chicken salad is best served fresh. Don't make it too far in advance, or the vegetables will start to wilt.

Conclusion:

Chinese chicken salad is a delicious, healthy, and refreshing dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give Chinese chicken salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
