I suppose chow mein noodles (stir-fried noodles/crispy noodles) could be rice noodles, but the opposite is not always true.

I'm so tired of ranch! I think I might even have some corn syrup in the pantry. If not, I'll try the honey (which I know I have) and let you know if it turns out. That dressing sounds great.

It would be thinner, but might work as a substitute for the corn syrup. A dressing recipe that I use occasionally calls for the syrup left from canned mandarin oranges.

We typically use only a small amount of dressing on our salads, and since this isn't high fructose corn syrup, I'm not super worried about it. At least, not worried enough to experiment, obviously. lol Hmm…so honey doesn’t function the same way?

If I were to make this, I'd experiment with using less of it, rather than subbing honey. The corn syrup serves to help the dressing stick to the food.
