Chinese Chicken and Noodle Salad with Peanut Sauce
A main-dish salad featuring a hearty Asian-inspired blend of ingredients.
Look for Chinese egg noodles in the international section of the supermarket, or use two packages of ramen noodles, discarding the seasoning packets. A basic creamy processed peanut butter (like Jif or Skippy) works best here.
