2 cups shredded cooked chicken (left-over roast, rotisserie or BBQ chicken are good options)
½ small carrot, finely julienned
3 cups finely shredded cabbage
¼ red onion, sliced
¼ cup finely sliced spring onion (scallions)
½ cup torn mint leaves
1 long red chilli, finely sliced
¼ cup roasted peanuts
¼ cup fried shallots
Dressing:
¼ cup honey
2 tbsp white vinegar
2 tbsp fish sauce
Crispy wonton noodles:
12 wonton sheets
vegetable oil for deep frying
For dressing, whisk all the ingredients together. Set aside until ready to serve.
To make the crispy wonton noodles, heat a small saucepan of oil over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the noodles and cook for a minute or until golden and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. The noodles will crisp up even more as they cool.
Place the chicken, carrot cabbage, onion, spring onion, mint, and chilli in a large bowl.
Use a mortar and pestle to roughly pound the roasted peanuts. Add these to the bowl with the chicken also.
When ready to serve, add the fried shallots to the other salad ingredients and pour over the dressing. Mix until well combined. Pile onto a serving plate. Use your fingers to crush the crispy wonton noodles over the top. Serve immediately.
Wow! It's all gone.
I made a double lot, thought it was too much. Fed four of us, then hubby ate the rest straight away. So tasty. Love the simplicity of the dressing. Definitely a winner.
Fresh & Exquisite Flavor
This turned out so delicious! The flavors were versatile and deliciously exquisite, and the right amount of crunch. The mint was the perfect touch that made this salad so special. This is one of those dishes you can make to impress guests. I will be saving this recipe and making it again! 10/10
Tasty and refreshing salad
I made this salad a few times, using veggies available. Sometimes even added papaya or roasted cashews and sesame. Salmon also works (poached like the chicken).
Just delicious and easy to make
