CHINESE CHICKEN SALAD
     CHICKEN-SALAD1 - Chicken salad with Chinese seasonings

     This is a delicious salad my mother has been making for
     years. She found the recipe in the cookbook that came with
     her wok. If you leave out the fried bean threads, this is a
     reasonbly low-calorie dish. And if you use all vegetable
     oils, there's almost no cholesterol in it (except for what's
     in the chicken).

INGREDIENTS (serves 3-4)
     2 lbs     chicken parts
     2 Tbsp    soy sauce
     1 Tbsp    sherry
     dash      garlic powder
     2 tsp     minced fresh ginger
     2 oz      bean thread (one package)
     2 cups    oil
     2 stalks  green onions
     1         iceberg lettuce
     1         bunch coriander
     1/2 tsp   dry mustard
     1 Tbsp    oil
     2 Tbsp    sesame oil
     1-2 Tbsp  vinegar
     3 Tbsp    toasted sesame seeds

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Mix soy sauce, sherry, garlic powder, ginger.
               Marinate the chicken in this mixture for several
               hours.

          (2)  Bake the chicken, skin side up, for 45 minutes at
               350 deg. F.  Let the cooked chicken cool.

          (3)  When the chicken is cool, shred it.

          (4)  Deep-fry the bean thread in small batches in 2
               cups oil. Drain.

          (5)  Shred the green onions and lettuce.

          (6)  Cut the coriander into 1-inch lengths.

          (7)  Place the chicken, lettuce, green onions, and
               coriander in a large bowl. Mix in the dry mustard.
               Add the sesame oil, oil, soy sauce, vinegar,
               sesame seeds, and bean thread. Mix well. Serve.

NOTES
     You can add garlic and ginger to the salad dressing that
     goes on the salad.

     This is also good hot-heat it just enough to get it hot and
     serve immediately.

RATING
     Difficulty: easy.  Time: baking: 45 minutes; preparation: 20
     minutes.  Precision: approximate measurement OK.
