~Chinese Salad~

This recipe tastes so good, its very healthy and takes less than 10 minutes to make. I love Chinese Chicken Salad from a restaurant in Los Angeles, called Feast from the East, so I tried to come up with a similar recipe. Instead of using wontons, I used dried ramen to add a little crunch to my salad. I did not add chicken to this recipe however, if you did I recommend adding shredded boneless skin less chicken breast. Whole Foods is a great place to get meat because it does not contain any hormones and their meat is organic. I used arugula lettuce for this recipe but I also recommend iceberg lettuce. You should try and get a lettuce that does not leave an after taste, when eating it. When buying ramen for this recipe, do not buy flavored ramen, try to only buy a plain flavor. If the ramen comes with a flavoring packet do not use it.

(Serving Size 3)
Here is what you will need:
Lettuce
Ramen noodles
2 tbsp. of Rice Vinegar
4 tbsp. of Soy sauce
2 tbsp of olive oil
1/2 teaspoon of sugar
sesame seeds
vegetable oil

Stage 1: 
Rinse lettuce to wash off all natural dirt or bugs.
In a separate bowl combine 2 tbsp of olive oil, 4 tbsp. of soy sauce, 2 tbsp. of rice vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar.
Then stir until you get a consistent mixture.

Stage 2: 
To cook the ramen, at 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil to a pan and let it heat for 1 minute.
Next add 1/3 cup of dried ramen to the pan.
Stir continuously so that the ramen does not burn.
Cook until the noodles turn a crispy golden brown color.
This should take no longer than 4-5 minutes.
Once the noodles are done remove the pan from the stove.

Stage 3:
Next add the dressing to the lettuce.
Only add a little bit of dressing because a small amount goes a long way in terms of flavor.
Next add a generous amount of noodle crisps to your salad.
Then sprinkle sesame seeds over your salad to more texture.
Finally you are ready to enjoy!
