Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 6 cups Romaine lettuce
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 1 cup Carrots
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 1 cup Cooked chicken breast
- 1 cup Slivered almonds
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for dressing)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Cut the wonton wrappers into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide.
Heat 1 cup of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, fry the wonton strips in batches until golden and crispy, about 1-2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Set aside.
Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and thinly slice the red cabbage. Grate the carrots and thinly slice the green onions.
Shred or dice the cooked chicken breast into small pieces.
In a large salad bowl, combine the lettuce, red cabbage, carrots, green onions, cooked chicken, slivered almonds, and sesame seeds.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
Just before serving, top the salad with the crispy wonton strips for added crunch. Serve immediately and enjoy!
