ASIAN CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare the dressing 30 minutes ahead of time by combining the brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, salad oil, and rice vinegar in a salad dressing carafe.
• To prepare the Chinese rice noodles, heat a skillet with a few tablespoons of oil and break off a little bit of the noodles and add them to the skillet and fry them. They will puff up in the skillet, so only add a few at a time. As they begin to puff up, remove and drain them on paper towels. Be sure to cook long enough as the under cooked noodles will be like eating needles. Once cooked, add them to the salad mixture.
• In a large bowl combine the iceberg lettuce, cooked and shredded chicken, green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Let chill about 10 minutes, and just before serving add the cooked rice noodles. Serve in salad bowls and offer the dressing in a pourable container so your family can add as much dressing as they want. You can also pour the dressing over the top of the salad, toss, and serve immediately.

ORIENTAL CHICKEN SALAD WITH CRUNCHY RAMEN NOODLES

Steps:

• Prepare dressing and set aside.
• Smash noodles of Top Ramen (discard seasoning packets) and brown over medium heat in 3 tbs oil.
• Once noodles have begun to slightly brown, add slivered almonds.
• If you start to brown the Ramen and almonds at the same time, the almonds will burn before the Ramen browns.
• Once the ramen noodles have turned a dark golden brown, remove from heat and set aside.
• Combine cabbage, green onions, chicken and sunflower seeds in a large bowl.
• Add the ramen/almond mixture and stir well.
• Add dressing and stir to coat.
• I generally prepare the dressing right before serving.
• If it sits in the refrigerator too long, it gets very thick and won't remix well.
• Also, this amount of dressing is just the right amount to give the salad a good coating.
• If you are one of those who likes more dressing, I would recommend making 1/2 batch of extra dressing.
• If you plan on eating this left over, keep in mind that the noodles will not stay crunchy.

HOISIN SAUCE NOODLES WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat and toast until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Cook the chicken. In a medium skillet, bring the chicken stock to a simmer over medium-high heat. Submerge the chicken breasts in the stock, then reduce the heat to low and poach until the meat is completely cooked through and the internal temperature in the thickest part of the chicken breast registers 165 degrees F on a meat thermometer, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Use a sharp knife to cut the meat into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Set aside. Let the chicken stock cool and reserve for another use.
• Make the pasta. In a medium pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Line a sheet pan with a clean kitchen towel and set aside. Season the water with salt until it tastes like sea water. Plunge the pasta in the water and cook until cooked but still chewy ("al dente"), 4 to 6 minutes. Place a colander in the sink. Reserve a little pasta water, then drain the pasta thoroughly. Shake the colander a few times to remove excess water. Spread the pasta on the towel so it cools more quickly. Gently use a second towel to cover and pat the pasta dry. (Removing the excess moisture assures that the sauce will have a full flavor effect on the noodles.)
• Make the sauce. In a large bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, vinegar and hot sauce. Adjust the seasonings. Stir in half of the scallions. Set aside.
• Add the pasta to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Add some of the reserved water if necessary. Transfer the pasta and sauce to a large serving bowl. Set aside.
• Arrange the chicken on top of the pasta. Top the pasta with the reserved sesame seeds and remaining scallions.
