SAIFUN NOODLES

Steps:

• Make a marinade by combining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 minced clove of garlic, and 1 tablespoon of ginger. Marinate the chicken and the beef for at least 30 minutes if not 2 hours in the refrigerator.
• Soak the saifun noodles in hot water for 15 minutes until they are clear, then drain. Reserve.
• In a wok or big heavy pot on high heat, add 2 tablespoons of oil and once is hot, add half of the drained pieces of chicken and beef. Cook 3 or 4 minutes until the chicken is done. Remove the chicken to a bowl and keep warm. Repeat the same operation with the second half of chicken and beef then remove.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the same pot and then cook the vegetables garlic, green pepper, shallots, soybean sprouts, spinach, snap peas and carrots). Cook on high heat, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are done.
• Then, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, noodles and chicken to the vegetables, mix it well for 2 minutes, add all the chopped cilantro, then remove from heat and serve!

CHINESE CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Parboil the chicken until cooked through. Let cool. Tear into very small pieces with your fingers (easier than cutting and looks better!) and stir fry with the teriyaki sauce for one minute. Set aside.
• *** OR, you could cut the raw chicken up into 1-2" cubes and stir-fry with the teriyaki sauce until done, then shred by hand when cool.
• Chop, not tear, the Napa cabbage into roughly 1/4" x 2" strips. Add the green onion, almond slivers, sesame seeds, cilantro and chicken and gently toss.
• Heat the vegetable oil to 375F degrees. Test a couple of maifun noodles by dropping them in the hot oil; if they "explode" immediately, your oil is hot enough. Deep fry the remaining maifun noodles in batches (they puff up to 5 times their original size) and drain on paper towels. Be gentle... they're fragile.
• Combine all dressing ingredients in cruet and shake well. To serve, very gently fold noodles into salad, then add dressing at the last minute to maintain salad crispness. Top with fried wonton wrapper strips.
