Prepare the wok noodles by following the directions on the package. Remove the red Salanova lettuce from the head, wash the leaves and then pat the lettuce leaves dry.
- Heat a wok with oil over high heat and fry the mushrooms for 5-8 minutes. Then add the marinated chicken pieces and fry them for 5-8 minutes until they are cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl, mix the mushrooms and chicken with the wok noodles, cucumber, tomatoes, half of the Salanova lettuce and all the red onion: Also add the dressing that you have set aside.
- Divide the rest of the Salanova lettuce over the plates and top with the Oriental chicken and noodles. Garnish the plates with peanuts and fresh coriander.
