1 cup crispy chow mein noodles
Dressing:
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce

Heat a frying pan on high heat, then reduce to medium. Drizzle with 1-2 tbsp cooking oil and sear the Daring Original Pieces for 2-3 minutes per side. They are done when they have a nice golden-brown color to them.

Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together vinegar, hoisin sauce, canola oil, soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil until combined.
Step 4
In a salad bowl, add baby kale, then Daring, carrots, and zucchini and chow mein noodles. Top with dressing and enjoy!
