MADAME WU'S CHINESE CHICKEN SALAD

Ingredients:

• 2 Whole chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• Oil for deep frying in wok
• 1 teaspoon Five Spice Powder*
• 12 Squares won ton skins -- slice
• 1/2 cup Sliced green onion (1 bunch)
• 2 ounce Rice noodles
• 1/4 cup Chopped toasted almonds
• 1/4 cup Soy sauce
• 1 Head lettuce -- shredded
• 1 tablespoon Prepared mustard

Preparation:

• Steam chicken breasts or cook in micro until barely done, skin, bone and shred (this is easy if you used 2 forks).
• In medium sized bowl, mix soy sauce, mustard, oil and Five Spice Powder (available in Asian food sections of most super markets - at least in California) and green onions, marinade chicken in this sauce, covered.
• Heat oil VERY hot (drop a piece of won ton skin in - if it floats right back up, oil is hot enough).
• Fry won ton skins until just beginning to turn golden, remove with slotted spoon to drain on paper towels (they will continue to brown when removed from heat).
• Fry noodles, a very few at a time, in hot oil - they will puff up almost immediately.
• Remove and drain immediately (they will be white).
• When ready to eat, slice lettuce (reserve some whole leaves to garnish bowl) thinly, add chicken and marinade, fried won ton skins and fried noodles (crumble a little as you add them), and almonds.
• Serve from large bowl ringed with whole lettuce leaves.
