Hong Kong Chicken Salad

"The presentation is beautiful and it tastes as good as it looks. This is a good recipe to use up leftover baked chicken breasts which is what I did but you can also used poached chicken breast. I had never cooked cellophane noodles before and was a little worried about the term "explode" in conjunction with them. Nothing to worry about though and it was actually fun working with them."
