  6       tb           Fresh lime juice
    1/4   c            Fish sauce (nuoc mam)
    1/4   c            (packed) light brown sugar
  4                    Serrano chiles
                       -- seeded and minced
    1/2   ts           Freshly grated nutmeg
  1       tb           Fresh lemon grass (optional)

    1/4   c            Dry-roasted unsalted peanuts
                       -- coarsely chopped

 In a large skillet, heat the oil over moderately high heat until a strip of
 won ton bounces across the surface.  Add the won ton strips in batches and
 fry, turning, until crisp and golden, about 1 minute. Transfer to paper
 towels; drain well.

 In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, chicken, bean sprouts, yellow
 pepper and cucumber.

 In a medium bowl, whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, brown sugar,
 chiles, nutmeg, lemon grass, ginger, mint and basil.  Add the dressing to
 the salad and toss well.  Gently fold in the crisp won ton strips. Turn out
 onto a serving platter and sprinkle with the peanuts.
