Recipe - Madame Wus Chinese Chicken Salad

2 Whole chicken breasts
1 teaspoon Sesame oil
Oil for deep frying in wok
1 teaspoon Five Spice Powder*
12 Squares won ton skins; slice
One half cup Sliced green onion (1 bunch)
2 ounce Rice noodles
One fourth cup Chopped toasted almonds
One fourth cup Soy sauce
1 Head lettuce; shredded
1 tablespoon Prepared mustard

Steam chicken breasts or cook in micro until barely done; skin, bone and
shred (this is easy if you used 2 forks). In medium sized bowl, mix soy
sauce, mustard, oil and Five Spice Powder (available in Asian food sections
of most super markets at least in California) and green onions; marinade
chicken in this sauce, covered.

Heat oil VERY hot (drop a piece of won ton skin in if it floats right
back up, oil is hot enough). Fry won ton skins until just beginning to turn
golden; remove with slotted spoon to drain on paper towels (they will
continue to brown when removed from heat).

Fry noodles, a very few at a time, in hot oil they will puff up almost
immediately. Remove and drain immediately (they will be white).

When ready to eat, slice lettuce (reserve some whole leaves to garnish
bowl) thinly, add chicken and marinade, fried won ton skins and fried
noodles (crumble a little as you add them), and almonds. Serve from large
bowl ringed with whole lettuce leaves.
