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.
Delicious
I have made this numerous times for just us and for potlucks. It is delicious! I have even omitted the chicken and served it with grilled tuna steaks. WOW!
Yummy
I just omitted the mint, which meant it was probably a bit less flavourful than it otherwise would have been, but the mix of ingredients was delicious.
delicious and light
This salad is delicious and so simple. I’m surprised by how flavourful the dressing is in the salad as comparatively it’s a small amount but it’s perfect. The mint really highlights the brightness of the salad. As usual with Marion’s recipes, well done! love it.
