DIANA CHANG'S CHINESE SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the noodles, stir, and allow to boil for 2 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, and drain again thoroughly. Using scissors, snip the noodles into manageable lengths, and place in a salad bowl.
• Wash the cucumbers, and peel, leaving some narrow ribbons of green skin unpeeled. Slice the cucumbers in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds. Then slice horizontally about 1/4 inch thick. Add to the salad bowl.
• Rinse, core, and seed the red pepper. Slice into slender strips. Add to the salad bowl.
• Peel and slice the onion into transparent slivers, and add to the bowl.
• Beat the vinegar and oil together in separate bowl, pour over the salad, and toss. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Just before serving add the coriander, and toss again.

CHANG'S CRISPY NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• Cut the cabbage in half, remove the thick white core section from the centre of each half. To do this, lay cabbage flat side down on the board and cut a "v" in the centre. Turn it over and ease the core out.
• Using a large, sharp knife, cut the cabbage into very fine shreds, working from one end. Regular cabbage tends to have tighter leaves so its best to shred it into once piece. Hold the cabbage firmly with one hand and shave down one side.
• Combine the sliced cabbage, chopped green onions and almonds in a salad bowl.
• Add dressing to taste, and mix well. Add Original Fried Noodles to the salad just before serving.
