• Mince the remaining ginger and the garlic and add to the strained broth along with the remaining dressing ingredients and whisk to combine. Let the dressing sit for an hour.
• To make the salad, heat the oil to 400 degrees in a deep frying pan. The oil will dimple slightly but should not smoke. Add half of the wrappers and fry, turning until golden. Drain on paper towels. Allow the oil to return to 400 degrees and repeat with remaining wrappers. Heat the oil again to 400 degrees and fry the vermicelli. The noodles will puff up and turn opaque in 5 to 10 seconds. Turn and let the other side puff up. Remove from oil and drain. Once cool, break the vermicelli into pieces about 3 inches long.
• In a large bowl, combine the chicken, lettuce, cilantro, sprouts and scallions. Toss well. Add the dressing and toss again. Let sit for 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, toss and serve.
