Equipment

  • Bowl
  • Pot

Ingredients
  

Dressing

  • 6 Tablespoons honey
  • 3 Tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil

Salad

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup corn flakes cereal crushed into crumbs
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 cups oil vegetable or canola, for frying
  • 6 cups Romaine lettuce chopped
  • 1 cup red cabbage chopped
  • 1 cup napa cabbage chopped
  • 2 carrots shredded
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 1/2 cucumber chopped
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds

Instructions
 

  • Make dressing: Combine dressing ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use. (Dressing can be made a few days in advance).
  • Heat oil: Preheat oil in a pot over medium heat. You want the oil at about 350 degrees F, (or test the oil by putting a small piece of torn bread into the pot and if the bread sizzles, it's ready.)
  • Coat chicken: In a small bowl beat the egg and milk together. In another bowl combine the flour, cornflake crumbs and salt and pepper. Cut chicken into several long thin strips. Dip the strips in the egg mixture, and then into the flour mixture, coating completely.
  • Fry Chicken: Carefully add coated chicken to the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes or until cooked through and coating is dark golden brown.
  • Assemble Salad: Combine the romaine, red cabbage, napa cabbage, carrots, onions and cucumber. Add chicken on top and then add almonds. Serve with dressing!
