Asian Food

I'm kind of on an Asian food kick. I like the fresh bold flavors. I made Thai Salad this weekend and my mom sent me this recipe for Asian Chicken Salad. We tried it last night and thought it was really tasty. If you've got and Asian inspired recipe please send it my way.

Asian Chicken Salad
Ingredients
Dressing:
* 4 tablespoons brown sugar
* 4 teaspoons soy sauce
* 1 tablespoon sesame oil (optional)
* 1 tablespoons rice vinegar
* t fresh grated ginger
1 Tablespoon crunchy peanut butter.
Salad:
*
* 1 bag mixed salad greens
* 4 boneless chicken breast halves, cooked and shredded
* 5 green onions, chopped
* 1 cucumber
Garnish:
1 (8 ounce) package dried rice noodles (break up about 1 cup in a plastic bag)
¼ c toasted slivered almonds
Directions
1. Prepare the dressing 30 minutes ahead of time by combining the brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, , and rice vinegar in a salad dressing carafe. Mix the dressing and pour over cooked chicken in a plastic bag—let marinate while mixing greens.
2. To prepare the Chinese rice noodles, heat a skillet with a few tablespoons of oil (peanut is oil) 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.
3. Combine the marinated chicken and greens right before serving. Garnish with cooked noodles and almonds.
