And this is one I'd like to suggest. You need to use a Rice based, not Wheat based, noodle. Shrimp can be eliminated but they are so good. I also will add shredded Cabbage if I have some around. ASIAN SHRIMP AND RICE NOODLES 1# peeled and deveined cooked Shrimp � one half Cup Olive Oil 2 Tablespoons Asian Fish Sauce 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce Zest and Juice of 2 Limes 2 Tablespoons Light Brown Sugar 3 Teaspoons Thai Garlic Chili Paste 1 Tablespoon Toasted Sesame Oil 6 Scallions, finely sliced In a small bowl, whisk to combine, reserve half to marinate the Shrimp.

Just another idea. If a cold chicken salad would be okay, this one is fabulous! Chicken Salad Ina Garten (posted 8/09 by Annova) 2 split (1 whole) chicken breasts, bone in, skin on (1-1/2 lbs) Good olive oil Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup pecan halves 1/2 cup walnut halves 1/2 cup good mayonnaise 1/2 cup sour cream 1 Tbsp chopped fresh tarragon leaves, divided 1 cup green grapes, cut in 1/2 Lettuce leaves, for serving Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken breasts, skin side up, on a baking sheet and rub them with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 35-40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Set aside until cool. When the chicken is cool, remove meat from the bones and discard the skin and bones. Cut the chicken into a 3/4" dice. Meanwhile, place the pecans and walnuts on a separate sheet pan and toast in the oven for 7 to 8 minutes until golden. Set aside to cool. For the dressing, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, 2 teaspoons* salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper. Fold in half the chopped tarragon leaves. Place the diced chicken in a bowl, add the pecans, walnuts and grapes. Pour the dressing over the chicken and toss well. Sprinkle the remaining chopped taragon leaves on top and serve on a bed of lettuce leaves. Annova's note: *Be careful with the salt. Some people think this is way too much. I added whatever I thought I needed as I went along. Linda
