Shredded Chicken Salad with Creamy Miso Dressing

So I made this, sort of.  I didn't know what a PITA it is to make mayonnaise by hand.  So after whisking for ever, I decided to just stop.  Which was kind of good because I didn't use all the oil.  After reading all the instructions, I knew I didn't need that much dressing.  So it helped with WW points a lot.

Ingredients
4 slices bacon (used center-cut)
1 1½-inch piece ginger, peeled, cut into very thin matchsticks
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon tahini
1 tablespoon white miso
2 teaspoons fish sauce
3/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Pinch of sugar
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
1 large egg yolk
1/3 cup vegetable oil, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1.5 lbs chicken breast diced
3 heads of romaine hearts, cut crosswise into ½-inch-thick ribbons
3 scallions, thinly sliced
Toasted sesame seeds (forgot to use, not in WW points)

Preparation
Cook bacon in a dry medium skillet over medium heat, turning slices occasionally, until brown and crisp, 5–8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels; let cool.

Cook ginger in a small saucepan of boiling water 1 minute. Drain ginger and rinse under cold water; set aside.

Whisk soy sauce, tahini, miso, fish sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and 2 Tbsp. lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.

Whisk egg yolk and remaining 2 Tbsp. lemon juice in a medium bowl to combine. Very gradually stream in 1/3 cup vegetable oil (almost drop by drop), whisking constantly until mayonnaise is emulsified and thick. Still whisking constantly, gradually add soy sauce mixture.Thin dressing with a tablespoon or two of water if needed.

Wipe down the bacon pan, but leave enough grease in it for the chicken.  Saute with salt and pepper.  Add 2 TBSPs of dressing to the pan while cooking.

Toss everything but the dressing in a large bowl.

Transfer salad to serving bowls or platter and drizzle 2-3 tablespoons or so of dressing over each salad (you may have some left over). Top with sesame seeds (if you remember).
