Chinese Chicken Salad

Chinese Chicken Salad
What you need: two heads of lettuce, green onions
oil for frying, 1 pkg of Maifun noodles( rice noodles), 1pkg of egg roll skins, rice vinegar, sesame oil, slivered almonds, roasted sesame seeds, sugar, salt, ground pepper, green onions, chicken, dry ranch packet.

Cube the chicken into bite size pieces, cook in pan and sprinkle the ranch mix over top, add to taste. After chicken is cooked put on a plate to cool and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Dressing:
1 1/2 cups rice vinegar
1 cup sugar
3 tsp salt
dash of fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup sesame oil
3 Tbsp Vegetable oil or more if you like a less strong vinegar taste
heat vinegar, sugar, salt to dissolve, turn heat down and add pepper, sesame and veg. oil and mix. pour in a serving container to cool.


To make the Maifun noodles, follow direction on the pkg, but be sure to have enough oil, if its not deep enough it won't work! We usually use more than a large bottle of vegetable oil.

Cut the egg roll skins into strips and fry in the oil, they cook fast!!!

I like to build it in layers. First a layer of lettuce, both kinds of noodles, meat, almonds, green onions, repeat. Sprinkle individual servings with nuts and dressing. 
This is a recipe my brother made for me this weekend! Thanks Dust!

You have to make sure the oil is hotter than the blazes of hell, fire, and damnation too, like 400 degrees. Otherwise the Maifun won't do what they are supposed to do.

oh yeah....the egg roll skins can also be wonton skins, you can find them at walmart. The egg roll skins you have to buy at the asian market. Damn, there went my man card. :)
