•
1/4 cup vegetable oil

3 tablespoons rice vinegar

Gather all ingredients.

Make the dressing: Shake oil, vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, and soy sauce together in a small lidded container. Set aside until salad is ready.
3
Make the salad: Combine lettuce, chicken, green onions, and sesame seeds in a large bowl. Cover and chill for 10 minutes.

While the salad is chilling, heat oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Break rice noodles into pieces and fry in the hot skillet in small batches until they begin to puff up, 15 to 25 seconds. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
