Divide among bowls and top each serving with 2 teaspoons toasted almonds.

Steps:

Split the fryer in half. Deep fry until skin is a golden, crispy brown. Debone along the grain. Mix chicken strips thoroughly with remaining ingredients except sesame seeds and nuts. Mound on a platter and sprinkle with seasame seeds and nuts. Serves 4 as a main course and 8-10 as a salad.
