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.

: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: baking: 45 minutes; preparation: 20 minutes.
: Precision: approximate measurement OK.
