Ingredients:

5 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons white or yellow miso
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
2 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and thinly sliced
4 ounces dried Chinese plain or somen noodles, cooked according to package instruction
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup green beans, blanched
2 ounces arugula or other baby lettuce (about 2 1/2 cups loosely packed)
1/4 cup, loosely packed, roughly chopped cilantro
2 papayas, halved, peeled, and seeded, optional

Cooking Recipe:

In a small non-reactive bowl, whisk together rice wine vinegar, miso, and sesame oil until well combined. Set aside.
In a medium size bowl, combine chicken, noodles, tomatoes, green beans, arugula or other salad greens, and cilantro. Drizzle miso vinaigrette over salad (can be eaten with a full meal or just by itself as a meal) and toss until evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning. If using papayas, place half a papaya on each of 4 plates. Divide salad (makes a great side dish) evenly among papaya halves or serve in cool Asian-style bowls if you're entertaining.
