Chinese Chicken Salad

Ingredients

• 1 red leaf lettuce
• 1 iceberg lettuce
• 1/2 cup red cabbage
• 1/2 lb bean sprouts (or 1 pkg.)
• 14 ounces mandarin orange sections
• 1 carrot (grated)

Dressing

• 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1/4 cup salad oil (I use olive oil or canola oil instead)
• 3 tablespoons rice vinegar

Directions

1. 1

   Pour salad oil into pan (wok is best) about 3” deep and heat to 375-400 degrees. (hot).

2. 2

   Break the rice sticks into the hot oil (a little at a time) – it will puff in a few seconds. Use 2 spoons and turn over so all noodles are cooked evenly. Remove as soon as it stops crackling and place on paper towels to drain. Set aside. NOTE: Remove all small pieces from oil to prevent burning and smoking.

   Shred lettuce into salad bowl. Mix all ingredients and top with chicken and fried rice sticks and won tons. Lightly toss the salad and top with dressing.
