Chinese Chicken Salad

This vibrant Chinese chicken salad is a refreshing, high-protein dish that balances crunch, colour, and punchy savoury notes. By combining tender shredded chicken with a mix of Napa cabbage and romaine lettuce, it offers a satisfying volume that feels both light and nourishing. The addition of toasted almonds and sesame seeds brings a wonderful nuttiness that complements the zesty, ginger-free soy dressing perfectly.

Ideal for a quick weekday lunch or a healthy dinner, this homemade classic is elevated by the addition of golden, crispy wonton strips. These provide a professional finish and a satisfying texture that shop-bought alternatives often lack. You can easily use a shop-bought rotisserie chicken to save time, making this an accessible recipe for busy evenings when you want a nutritious meal with minimal fuss.

Ingredients for Chinese Chicken Salad

  • 20 square wonton wrappers, thawed if frozen

  • About 600ml vegetable oil

  • 230g snow peas, trimmed 450g Napa cabbage, cored, then cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-wide strips (about 6 cups)

  • 450g Napa cabbage

  • 1 (1-lb) head of cos, torn into bite-size pieces (about 1925ml )

  • 60ml de salsa de soja

  • 60ml de jugo de limón fresco

  • 2 cucharadas de azúcar

  • 1 cucharada de vinagre blanco destilado

  • 1 cucharadita de sal

  • 1/2 cucharaditas de pimienta negra

  • 1 cucharada de aceite de sésamo asiático

  • 60ml de aceite vegetal

  • 1450ml coarsely shredded cooked chicken (from a 2 1/2-lb rotisserie chicken)

  • 80g de cebollino picado

  • 1/2 taza de cilantro fresco picado

  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted

  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted

  • a deep-fat thermometer (if making wontons)

Cut wonton wrappers into 1/2-inch-wide strips and separate on paper towels.

Heat 3/4 inch oil in a wide 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until it registers 177°C on thermometer. Fry strips, 5 or 6 at a time, gently turning over once with a slotted spoon, until just golden, 15 to 30 seconds per batch (some strips will fold and curl). Transfer to paper towels to drain, then season with salt.

Cook snow peas in a 4-quart pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking, then drain in a colander and pat dry. Cut diagonally into 1-inch-wide pieces and put in a large bowl with cabbage and cos.

Whisk together soy sauce, lemon juice, sugar, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, then add sesame oil and vegetable oil in a slow stream, whisking until sugar is dissolved and dressing is combined well. Toss chicken and spring onions with 50g dressing in another large bowl. Whisk remaining dressing (it will separate), then add cabbage mixture, coriander, almonds, and sesame seeds to chicken and toss with enough remaining dressing to coat. Sprinkle with wontons (if using).
