my favorite super quick chicken dish is jasmine rice and plain sauteed chicken then i dump some Jade peanut sauce on it. You could probably put it on salad instead of rice. But make sure you buy Jade brand, the trader joes brand and a lot of the cheaper brands taste like butt. as far as i know jade is only at williams sonoma, but look it up and see.Does anyone have any good thai chicken salad recipes with a peantut flavor to it?

Curried "Chicken" Salad

1 carton soft or firm tofu, drained

cw: firm/extra firm works best, with the water pressed out

for as long as possible beforehand

2 cups diced or shredded cooked chicken

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 TB peanut oil

Finely grated zest and juice of 1 large lime

3 TB chopped cilantro

1/4 cup finely chopped parsley

1 tsp curry powder

2 scallions, thinly sliced

1 celery rib, finely diced

1 TB mango chutney

cw: can also add 1 carrot diced, red onion diced, raisins, peanuts



1. Cut the tofu into cubes or strips about 1/3 inch across. Bring 6 cups

water to a boil, add 1 teaspoon (cw: or more...) salt and turn off the heat.

Lower the tofu into the water and let it sit for 2 minutes. Gently tip it into

a wide colander, then rinse under cool water. Shake off the excess

moisture and turn the tofu only a clean kitchen towel to dry.



2. Combine the remaining ingredients. Taste and adjust the seasonings,

adding more curry powder or lime juice, if needed, to make it a little

more zesty. Add the tofu and gently toss with a rubber spatula. If

possible chill 20 minutes or more. (cw: ~2 hours STRONGLY recommended)

The flavors will emerge and mellow as the salad stands.Does anyone have any good thai chicken salad recipes with a peantut flavor to it?
