Break the dried rice noodles into smaller, manageable pieces. Fry the noodles in the hot oil in small batches, stirring frequently, until they puff up and turn golden brown, about 15 to 25 seconds per batch. Use tongs to transfer the fried noodles to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. (Cook time: 10-15 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding some mandarin orange segments or sliced almonds to the salad.
To avoid soggy noodles, add them to the salad just before serving.
The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
If you don't have leftover chicken, you can quickly poach or grill some chicken breasts specifically for this recipe.
