When I have leftover rotisserie hen from this, I use it to make my favorite Chinese Chicken Salad. This is a restaurant-quality dish that tastes even better at home.
The best wonton strips are packed with romaine lettuce and napa cabbage. Also included are mandarin oranges. Homemade is better than anything you can buy in the store.
The sesame-ginger dressing is a perfect match. You can make the dressing ahead and store it in the refrigerator before serving. You can eat all of the wonton pieces while preparing.
