NOTES:

* 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 reasonably low-calorie dish. And if you use all vegetable oils, there's almost no cholesterol in it (except for what's in the chicken). Yield: serves 3-4.

* 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.
