Copycat Marshall Field's Marketplace Deli Asian Chicken Pasta Salad Recipe

ingredients

1 cup sesame dressing (see below)
8 ounces fusilli pasta, cooked and drained
1 1/4 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked and cut julienne
8 ounces fresh pea pods, blanched and halved lengthwise
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 1/2 cup thinly sliced mushrooms
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 pound won ton skins
1 can (11 ounce size) mandarin oranges, drained

SESAME DRESSING
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup sesame oil (see note)
1/2 cup vegetable oil

directions

Prepare sesame dressing (see below).

In large bowl, combine pasta, chicken, pea pods, onions and mushrooms. Toss gently. Pour dressing over mixture and toss to coat. Add salt and pepper to taste. Chill well.

Before serving, prepare won ton skins: Slice won ton skins into 1/4-inch strips and fry in vegetable oil heated to 350 degrees F, until crisp. They will brown in 30 to 60 seconds. Garnish salad with won tons and mandarin oranges.

For Sesame Dressing: In heavy saucepan, combine yolk and soy sauce. Cook over very low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture reaches 160 degrees F on thermometer. Set pan in ice water and stir to cool quickly.

In food processor or blender, combine yolk-soy sauce mixture, vinegar, sugar and pepper; blend well. Slowly add oils, mixing until incorporated.

NOTE: For less strong a sesame flavor in the dressing, the ratio of sesame oil to vegetable oil can be adjusted.

I made the pasta. It was a very close recipe to the original but it had too much oil. I will make it again but I will only use 1/2 of the oil.
