My friend, Jessica, gave me a head of cabbage a few days ago. It was a kind gift for those of us who are fresh veggie deprived. I was so inspired I broke out those last two chicken breasts and made a Chinese chicken salad. I threw in some of the carrots from my grocery binge last week and the green onions came from my mother-in-law who was going out of town. I topped the whole thing off with rice sticks and a yummy dressing.
Rice sticks are rice noodles that have been fried in hot oil. It makes them puff up. They are crispy and crunchy and make a nice addition to a Chinese chicken salad. Fried won ton wrappers are also nice. I didn't have any of those.To make the dressing, throw all the following ingredients into a blender.
1 orange peeled
1 t. lime juice
2/3 c. red wine vinegar
2/3 c. sugar
3 T. soy sauce
3/4 c. canola oil
2 cloves garlic
1 t. salt
1/3 c. honey
2-3 T. sesame oil
2 T. sesame seeds (mine were black, which is why it looks like there are ants in my salad)
