Salad
- 15 3-inch wonton skins sliced into 1/4 inch strips
- 1/4 cup canola oil for frying
- 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 chicken breast shredded
- 2 green onions chopped (optional)
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds toasted lightly
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Dressing
- 1 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 6 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 1/2 tsp sugar
- 2 tsp light soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1/2 tsp ground pepper

Heat canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. When oil starts to shimmer, fry wonton skins in small batches for about 30 seconds or until they are lightly browned. Place on a paper towel to drain.
Combine lettuce, chicken breast, almonds, pasta and green onions in a large bowl.
Add dressing ingredients to a small bowl and whisk together. Pour over salad right before serving and top with wonton strips and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
