👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. If using raw chicken, poach or bake it until cooked through, then let cool and shred into bite-sized pieces. If using pre-cooked chicken, simply shred it.
2. In a large salad bowl, combine the shredded romaine lettuce, red cabbage, carrots, and sliced green onions.
3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, vegetable oil, and a touch of honey or sugar until well combined.
4. Add the shredded chicken, drained mandarin oranges, and sesame seeds to the large bowl with the vegetables.
5. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients, toss gently to coat everything evenly, and top with crispy chow mein noodles just before serving.
