Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup peanut sauce
1 (1 1/2 inch) piece fresh ginger root, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch pieces
1 teaspoon peanut oil
6 ounces fresh snow pea pods
12 ounces bean sprouts
4 green onion, chopped
1 pound watercress, chopped
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 large carrots, peeled
1 teaspoon peanut oil
1 teaspoon soy sauce
12 spring roll wrappers
½ cup peanut sauce

Steps:

  • Combine 1 cup peanut sauce, ginger, garlic, and 1 teaspoon soy sauce in a bowl. Add the chicken and mix until the chicken is coated. Place in refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon peanut oil in a wok or skillet over medium heat. Cook the snow peas, bean sprouts and green onion in the oil until heated but still crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Mix in the watercress and cilantro. Use a vegetable peeler to have long slices of carrot into the watercress mixture. Drizzle 1 teaspoon soy sauce into the watercress mixture; toss to coat.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon of oil to the wok or skillet. Cook the marinated chicken until no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes.
  • Fill a large bowl with hot water. Dip wrappers one at a time into the water for about 2 seconds each. As wrappers are removed from the water, fill each with 2 large spoonfuls of the chicken and a small handful of the watercress mixture. Fold in two opposite ends of the wrapper to meet the filling. Then fold the bottom of the wrapper over the top of the filling and roll. Serve with 1/2 cup peanut sauce for dipping.

The crunch of the bowl makes this chicken salad unique, and also company worthy. Each of the three components can be done separately ahead of time then assembled at the last minute. This could be made vegan by subbing tofu or edamame for the chicken.

Tips:

  • To make the egg roll wrapper bowls, cut the egg roll wrappers into 4 squares each. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray and place a square of egg roll wrapper in each cup, pressing down to form a bowl shape. Bake at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • For the chicken salad, use a combination of cooked chicken breast and thigh meat for the best flavor and texture. Shred the chicken by hand or use a food processor fitted with the shredding blade.
  • To make the peanut dressing, use a smooth peanut butter for a creamy texture. Add a little bit of honey or agave nectar to balance out the acidity of the lime juice.
  • For the slaw, use a combination of shredded cabbage, carrots, and red onion for a crunchy and flavorful salad. Add a few chopped peanuts for extra texture.
  • To assemble the salad bowls, place a crispy egg roll wrapper bowl on a plate. Add a scoop of chicken salad, a scoop of slaw, and a drizzle of peanut dressing. Top with additional peanuts, chopped cilantro, and a lime wedge.
