Directions

  1. 1. Using an electric mixer, blend together the honey, vinegar, mayonnaise, dijon mustard and sesame oil. Put the dressing in the refrigerator to chill while you cook the chicken and prepare the salad.
  2. 2. Preheat the oil in a deep fryer or frying pan over medium high heat. The temperature of the oil should be around 360 degrees F. If using a frying pan, the oil should be around 1/2 inch deep. More oil can be used in a deep fryer so that the chicken is immersed.
  3. 3. In a small, shallow bowl beat the egg, add the milk and mix well.
  4. 4. In another bowl, combine the flour with the crushed cornflakes, salt and pepper.
  5. 5. Cut the chicken breast into four or five long strips. Dip each strip into the egg mixture then into the flour mixture, coating each piece completely.
  6. 6. Fry each chicken finger for five minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
  7. 7. Prepare the salad by tossing the romaine with the red cabbage, napa cabbage and carrot. Sprinkle the green onion on top of the lettuce mixture, then sprinkle the almonds and chow mein noodles over all.
  8. 8. Place the chicken on the salad and serve with the dressing on the side.
