4 Tbs sesame seeds, toasted

1 pkg. wontons, cut into strips.  (Fry in hot oil and flip over.  Watch closely, they burn quickly. Place on paper towels to dry)
2 large chicken breasts- Simmer for 45 min, then cool and shred in this:
1/2 c. soy sauce
1 tsp ginger
1 cup or more water to barely cover chicken

Dressing:  (Mix well)                                             HALF
6 Tbs rice vinegar                                         3 Tbs rice vinegar
1/2 c canola oil                                             1/4 c canola oil

1/4 tsp pepper                                              1/8 tsp pepper (opt)

*If I don't want to go to all the work of this, I just use plain chicken  that I already have shredded and instead of frying wontons, just use Top Ramen broken in pieces.
