Looking for a recipe along the asian type?

Question

I have been searching for a recipe of a salad that I have earlier this year. Unfortunately I only know a few of the ingredients, and so I was hoping that if this sounds familiar to anyone, I would appreciate the sharing of this recipe. The person who made this recipe used, either romaine lettuce, or Cesar blend, along with water chestnuts, chicken (small pieces) Nuts she said "infused with brown sugar" I am assuming that infused means soaked in a brown sugar mixture of something. Any how she had to separate as best she could those nuts, she added some type if dressing and mixed it all together.

The taste of this salad was wonderfully sweet. If this sounds familiar, I would appreciate the sharing of the recipe.

Answer 1

This is one of my favorite salads. It tastes so good you wouldn't even suspect it's low-fat. Wonton wrappers (or skins) can be found in the deli or produce section of most supermarkets

3 tablespoons hoisin sauce

8 tablespoons peanut butter

2 tablespoons brown sugar

3/4 teaspoon hot chile paste

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

8 tablespoon sesame oil

1 pound chicken breast halves

16 (3.5 inch square) wonton wrappers, shredded

2 cups romaine lettuce - torn, washed and dried

1 cup shredded carrots

1 bunch green onions, chopped

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

To prepare the dressing, whisk together the hoisin sauce, peanut butter, brown sugar, chili paste, ginger, vinegar and sesame oil.

Grill or broil chicken until cooked, cool and slice.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 C). Spray a large shallow pan with nonstick vegetable spray, arrange shredded wontons in a single layer and bake 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool.

In a large bowl, combine the chicken, wontons, lettuce, carrots, green onions and cilantro. Toss with dressing and serve.

Hoisin sauce, also called Peking sauce, is a thick, reddish-brown sauce that is sweet and spicy, and widely used in Chinese cooking
