Place chicken in pot, cover w/ water. Bring to boil, simmer 20 min.

Remove, drain on paper towels. Place vegetable oil in deep-fryer, heat to 350. Test for readiness by dropping a rice noodle into oil.

If it sinks, oil isn't hot enough. When it pops up immediately, put in dough strips, fry to a light tan color. Remove and drain on paper towels. Divide noodles into 3 parts, deep-fry separately. Noodles should explode on contact w/ hot oil & should be removed instantly, before oil is absorbed. Drain on paper towels. Deep-fry chicken 5 min. Remove, drain on paper towels. Bone, cut into strips, including skin. Place chicken meat in large bowl. Add mustard, five-spice powder, sesame oil, soy sauce, almonds, green onions, & salt. Mix well.
