People talking
I found this recipe on Epinions.com in a review of California Pizza Kitchen from chic_seeker. The reviewer included a close copycat recipe to the restaurant's delicious Chinese chicken salad. I included this with other salads in a recent lunch for a crowd and this was the first thing gone. (Prep time cited does not include cooking chicken)

I tried this dressing after looking up a recipe for hoisin sauce and realizing it has nearly the exact same ingredients you've got listed here for the dressing itself! So, rather than making the hoisin sauce recipe, I sort of split the difference and just added a few tbsps. of Chinese light soy sauce to THIS dressing recipe! All it really needed was a bit more sweetness. Otherwise, just as I remember! I enjoyed it in salads all weekend long!Reply

Omitted hoisin, added a few tbsps. Chinese light soy sauce instead and a bit more brown sugar. Perfect!Reply

I tried this recipe tonight because I was hoping to re-create CPK's Asian slaw that I so love! I halved the recipe which was perfect for 2 people. I added fried wontons like you add to salad and some bean sprouts. The dressing was spot on. Great recipe!<br/><br/>http://www.mynewlywedcookingadventures.com/2013/05/knock-off-california-pizza-kitchen.htmlReply
