Ingredients

Ginger Sesame Vinaigrette Dressing
3 oz Plum sauce
1 cup Rice vinegar
1 tablespoon Chili garlic paste
1 tablespoon Ginger, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon Garlic, blanced and minced
4 oz Soy sauce
2 oz Fresh lime juice
10 oz Canola oil
4 oz Sesame oil
1/2 oz Cilantro, sliced fine
1 tablespoon Sesame seeds, toasted
Grilled Chicken Salad
3-4 Chicken breasts
3 oz Ginger sesame vinaigrette dressing (above)
2 oz Mandarin oranges
6 oz Lettuce
2 oz Won tons
1 oz Zucchini, julienned
1 oz Carrots, julienned
1/4 oz Green onions, shredded
1/2 oz Plum sauce
1/2 teaspoon White sesame seeds, toasted

Preparation

For dressing: in a mixing bowl combine the plum sauce, vinegar, chili garlic paste, ginger, garlic, soy sauce and lime juice and mix for one to two minutes. Slowly drizzle in both oils while continuing to mix until all the oil has been emulsified. Whisk in the cilantro and sesame seeds. Transfer to another container.


Grilled chicken: marinate the chicken breasts in the ginger sesame vinaigrette dressing already prepared. Place the marinated chicken on the grill and cook for one minute. Flip chicken and cook for additional two minutes. In a mixing bowl, combine the vinaigrette, oranges and lettuce. Toss to coat well. Add won tons. Toss gently so as to not break the won tons. Mound salad in center of bowl, maximizing the height. Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally and arrange across the front. In order: haystack the won tons, zucchini, carrots and green onions in the center. Drizzle plum sauce evenly across the surface of the chicken. Sprinkle sesame seeds over entire surface.
