Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 head iceberg lettuce - rinsed, dried, and chopped
• 3 green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 4 boneless chicken breast halves, cooked and shredded
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Make the dressing: Shake oil, vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, and soy sauce together in a small lidded container. Set aside until salad is ready.

Step 2

Make the salad: Combine lettuce, chicken, green onions, and sesame seeds in a large bowl. Cover and chill for 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the salad is chilling, heat oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Break rice noodles into pieces and fry in the hot skillet in small batches until they begin to puff up, 15 to 25 seconds. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Step 4

Remove salad from the refrigerator. Portion into salad bowls, top with fried rice noodles, and drizzle dressing over top.
