The Recipe for Mother's Day

 My mother gave me a gift on Mother's Day, of course, that's how mothers are right? She had recently had lunch with a friend and they served a Chinese Chicken Salad that she really enjoyed, so she made it for us when we came over to visit. This is a cellphone photo of a copy of a hand-written recipe by her friend's mother. The mother-chain of recipes so to speak, right?

Turns out the trick to making it taste really good is to replace the Top Ramen noodles we've all been using all these years for that crunch for these Japanese flavored (maybe roasted) noodles. They're smaller and much more flavorful, and still add that great crunch. She's lucky enough to have a Japanese grocery store nearby where they cary them, or you can of course find them on amazon here.

I hope that you had a good Mother's Day if you're a mother, or are lucky enough to have one in your life to celebrate with.
