Recipe Options: Use rice noodles instead egg noodles. Replace some of the vegetables called for with others that appeal, such as chilled, blanched snow peas, sliced Napa cabbage, or grated English cucumber. Instead of chicken breast, roast and glaze a 1 1/4 lb. piece of pork tenderloin with the sweet chili sauce mixture. Cooking time, at the same temperature called for, for the chicken, will be about 30 minutes. Once chilled, thinly slice and divide and arrange the pork on top of the noodles.
