Small bunch rice stick noodles (about 1 cup)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 stalks baby bok choy, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, sliced

2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions

Step 1
In deep fat fryer or heavy saucepan, heat 3 inches vegetable oil to 375°F. Fry rice stick noodles in hot oil until they float on top of the oil and are curled up, less than 1 minute. Set aside.

In tightly covered container, shake dressing ingredients, or beat in small bowl with whisk. Pour dressing over salads.
