6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts. Cut into small bite size pieces
Arugula lettuce
1/4 cup sesame oil
1/2 cup mandarin orange juice
1/4 cup rice wine
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon fresh grated or finely chopped ginger
2 cloves of finely chopped garlic
*The Ginger dressing that can be found in the produce section is very good if you prefer not to make your own dressing.
Ingredients for Fresh Ginger Dressing
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons LOW SODIUM soy sauce
2 cloves of minced garlic or very finely chopped garlic clove
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon of finely chopped ginger
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
*Fresh ginger & garlic are optional. Using fresh spices truly enhances the flavor of food. Most supermarkets do supply good choices of minced garlic & ginger if you don't choose fresh. Powdered also works, but I don't believe it makes the meals tastes as good as they could be.
Ingredients for Topping
2 mandarin oranges, peeled and seeds removed
Sesame seeds
Thin sliced almonds
Chow Mein Noodles
