Chinese Chicken Salad
April 2nd, 2012Recipes, Chinese Recipes, Recipes, Eating Light, Recipes12 CommentsJust like its cousin the fortune cookie, the Chinese Chicken Salad did not originate from China and is certainly not a part of authentic Chinese cuisine. Even the Chinese term for salad (沙拉 pronounced sha la) is derived from the pronunciation of the English word. So what is it that makes the Chinese Chicken Salad Chinese? The ingredients, of course!
Ingredients commonly found in Chinese cooking like soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger and toasted sesame seeds are used to make the dressing. Popular toppings for the Chinese Chicken Salad include crispy noodles, fried wonton skin strips, chinese mushroom, mandarin orange, grilled tofu and almonds. But of course you can mix and match these according to your preference. The end result is a light and healthy salad perfect especially to complement a heavy meal.

This classic east meets west salad can be found at classy joints like Wolfgang Puck’s or Madam Wu’s but why pay through the nose for a dish so simple you can toss up as much as you want in the comfort of your own kitchen, especially since the dressing is vinaigrette-based and can keep longer in the fridge than mayonnaise-based dressings.

yummy….
You mentioned Madame Wu’s. My daughter and I ate there just before it closed. Best Chinese food I ever ate. It’s been gone a long time. Madame Wu herself came over to talk. We discovered that her husband and my daughter’s father both went to MIT and we had long, friendly conversation.
Good dressing. I like to make a special dressing and try to collect recipes for it.
Is this dish similar to the one we make for chinese new year? We use fish instead of chicken….
It contains truly information. Your website is very useful. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to more! Great visualization and unique informative article indeed

LOVE CHICKEN!!it looks really good
This turned out absolutely AMAZING. I wouldn’t change a single thing in the recipe. I am literally sitting here eating this for breakfast, because when my husband started making this last night, he ran out of time. Now I get to eat it all day. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
this dressing is dangerously good!!! i whipped the salad with whatever i have on the fridge last night (no wonton wrapper, only have apples and some spicy roasted cashews in addition to some greens)…i still have some dressing remaining and i marinade two frozen salmon steak for lunch (pan sear then broil), it is absolutely delicious….my son ate the leftover chicken from the salad last night with some brown rice for breakfast and he said “yuuummmm this is delicious” thank you bee :)
Thinking about making this for a large party. How many servings does this recipe make?
You can look at it as 2 small servings, or 1 huge salad for 1 person:)
