Ingredients

4 oz bean thread noodles (also known as cellophane or glass noodles)
1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs (cut into 1-inch pieces)

Instructions

1
Place the bean thread noodles in a large bowl and cover completely with warm water. Let them soak for 15-20 minutes until they are soft and pliable. Drain thoroughly and use kitchen shears to cut the noodles into more manageable 6 to 8-inch lengths.
2
While the noodles soak, heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
3
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot. Sauté for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
4
Add the chicken pieces to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes.
5
Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer gently for 15 minutes. This will make the chicken tender and allow the flavors to meld.

Ingredients

1 large head Romaine Lettuce (Washed, dried, and chopped)
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes (Halved)
1 medium Cucumber (Peeled and sliced)
1 medium Carrot (Shredded)
0.25 small Red Onion (Thinly sliced)
1 cup Croutons (Use your favorite store-bought or homemade)
0.5 cup Ranch Dressing (Or more, to taste)

Instructions

1
Prepare the Vegetables (10 minutes)
- Thoroughly wash the romaine lettuce leaves. Dry them completely using a salad spinner or by patting with paper towels. This is crucial for a crisp salad.
- Chop the dried lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.
- Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes, peel and slice the cucumber, shred the carrot, and thinly slice the red onion.
- Add all prepared vegetables to the bowl with the lettuce.
2
Combine the Salad Base (2 minutes)
- Gently toss the chopped lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, carrot, and red onion together in the bowl.
- Ensure all the vegetables are evenly distributed. At this point, you can cover and refrigerate the salad for up to 4 hours if preparing ahead.
3
Dress and Serve (3 minutes)
- Just before you are ready to serve, add the croutons to the salad bowl.
- Drizzle the ranch dressing over the salad.
- Toss gently until all ingredients are lightly and evenly coated.
- Serve immediately to maintain the crispness of the lettuce and the crunch of the croutons.
