This chicken salad recipe is on is on the Maifun Package. Also the way to cook the Maifun is on the package. (This is a white nest like noodle when fried explodes) The package will tell you how to cook but Priss has given these directions. Heat up oil hot in a wok then put a little Maifun in at a time let it pop up then get it out as fast as you can so it doesn't get brown. Drop on paper towels or paper a bag.

Salad Dressing

1/4 cup of vinegar

2 tablespoons sugar

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ginger powder or grated .

Let sit with the dressing on it for a few minutes so it gets

through the salad.

Anybody who has ever eaten this know it is worth a try. It is good.

Priss says "go for it." Sometime’s she substitutes real onions, prefers chicken, and does not always use no sesame seeds.
