Shredded Chicken Cold Noodle Skin

Why people make this dish

When the weather is hot, heavy cooked meals can feel like a burden. A cold salad or 38 g ban (cold-dressed) dish is the Chinese answer to a summer lunch — fresh, light, and flavourful without making you feel heavy afterwards. Nourilo had been planning cold noodles one day, but spotted fresh mung bean jelly sheets at a tofu stall and grabbed them instead. The result — silky sheets of fen pi layered with shredded chicken and cucumber in a sesame-mustard dressing — is cooling, filling, and genuinely delicious.
