Episode 30: Chinese Chicken Salad with Mandarin Orange and Baked Wonton Crisps
HEALTHY ORGANIC INSPIRED ASIAN Food and Cooking
with Diane Yang Kirk
Cooking Level: Easy
Learn how to make an easy Chinese Chicken Salad! It is light, tangy, crispy, and low in sugar compared to a Chinese Chicken Salad or Oriental Chicken Salad you may find at a restaurant.
I sweeten the dressing with honey and fruit juice and the additional sweetness comes from natural ingredients such as sliced apples, dried cranberries, and the signature mandarin orange slices.
Instead of deep fried chow mein noodles, I show a light and crispy baked wonton wrapper crisp and toasted sunflower seeds which make each bite exciting because of all the different textures!
If you are making a vegan salad you can of course use agave instead of honey and swap out the chicken for some cubed baked tofu or seitan!
I like to use organic ingredients whenever possible, HOIA recipes are not only clean, but also delicious. I hope you enjoy this video! HOIA!!!

Wolfgang Puck’s Famous Chinois Chicken Salad Recipe (Clean Food Crush's Version)
Wolfgang Puck’s Famous Chinois Chicken Salad Recipe (Clean Food Crush's Version)
This recipe inspiration comes from chef Wolfgang Puck’s restaurant in beautiful Santa Monica California. The FAMOUS almost iconic Chinois Chicken Salad recipe is brought to you with lots of my own tweaks and adaptions to make it CFC-approved.
Have you been to his restaurant in California? If so it’s very likely that someone at your table ordered this beautiful salad creation because the rumor is that it’s the most popular order on the menu. For a great reason! The flavors and textures happening in this salad are CRAVEWORTHY!
Chinois is a French word and is pronounced SHEEN-WAA. It is the French word for Chinese.
So, I’m not guaranteeing this salad will taste exactly like the famous restaurant salad (it won’t because I made lots of modifications – so be sure to go try his salad some time as well) BUT I am guaranteeing this is a super delicious FUN fresh alternative to make at home when you’re craving something a little out of the ordinary.
