Chinese chicken salad
Crispy noodle bowl
Chinese chicken salad is an American dish combining shredded chicken with cabbage, crispy noodles, and Asian-inspired ingredients like sesame oil, soy sauce, and mandarin oranges.
Despite its name, the salad has no direct connection to Chinese cuisine—it emerged from California restaurants in the mid-20th century.
I'll have the Chinese chicken salad with dressing on the side.
