Description
A favorite over the years in Chinese restaurants, we have to make Chinese Chicken Salad ourselves to get it gluten free. This salad can be made by shredding a rotisserie chicken, which makes it really easy and affordable.

Scale
Prepare Ahead:
- 1 Tbls Sesame Seeds, toasted
- 2 oz Rice Noodles
- 1/4 cup Oil for frying
Dressing:
- 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
- 2 Tbls Brown Sugar
- 1 Tbls Rice Vinegar
- 3 Tbls Toasted Sesame Oil
- 2 tsp Tamari
Salad:
- 6 cups Shredded Lettuce
- 3 cups Shredded Chicken
- 3 Green Onions, sliced
Instructions
- Toast the Sesame Seeds. In a dry pan over medium heat toast the sesame seeds, stirring frequently, until they turn golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Cook the rice noodles. Break the noodles into small pieces. Put 1/4 cup or more of oil into a frying pan over medium high heat. When the oil is hot drop in a few noodle pieces. When they have all puffed up remove them to a paper towel covered plate to drain. Repeat with the rest of the noodles, adding more oil as necessary.
- Make the dressing. In a half pint jar with a lid combine the vegetable oil, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil and tamari. Cover, shake well and set aside.
- Make the salad. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded lettuce and shredded chicken and mix together well. Add the sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds and mix again.
- Serve the salad. Put the salad mix in bowls, top with the fried noodles, pour on the dressing and sprinkle with salt.
