Instructions
- Heat canola or corn oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When oil starts to shimmer, fry the wonton skins in batches of 5-7 strips for 30 seconds each side or until lightly browned, working quickly so they don’t burn. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels until cooled.
- In a large bowl, combine lettuce, chicken breast, green onion, almonds, and pasta.
- Add the dressing ingredients to a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake until well mixed or whisk in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves.
- Dress the lettuce mixture with 2-3 tablespoons of sesame dressing and top with more sesame seeds, wonton strips, and serve.
