Oriental Chicken Salad with Crunchy Ramen Noodles
By: -Tulip-
Jan 12, 2003
This is a salad that even non-cabbage eaters love. It is nice and crunchy with great flavor. I once took it to a potluck in my apartment complex and then had to put the recipe up on the bulletin board because everyone wanted the recipe!
SERVES 6
Ingredients
- 2-3 cups chopped cooked chicken breasts (depending on the amount of chicken you like)
- 1 head cabbage, shredded or chopped
- 1 bunch green onion, finely chopped (or to taste)
- 2 (2 1/2 ounce) packages slivered almonds
- 3 tablespoons sunflower seeds
- 2 packages Top Ramen noodles or other ramen-type soup
- 3 tablespoons oil
Dressing
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil or canola oil
- 4 1/2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
- 4 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
Directions
1
Prepare dressing and set aside.2
Smash noodles of Top Ramen (discard seasoning packets) and brown over medium heat in 3 tbs oil.3
Once noodles have begun to slightly brown, add slivered almonds.4
If you start to brown the Ramen and almonds at the same time, the almonds will burn before the Ramen browns.5
Once the ramen noodles have turned a dark golden brown, remove from heat and set aside.6
Combine cabbage, green onions, chicken and sunflower seeds in a large bowl.7
Add the ramen/almond mixture and stir well.8
Add dressing and stir to coat.9
I generally prepare the dressing right before serving.10
If it sits in the refrigerator too long, it gets very thick and won't remix well.11
Also, this amount of dressing is just the right amount to give the salad a good coating.12
If you are one of those who likes more dressing, I would recommend making 1/2 batch of extra dressing.13
If you plan on eating this left over, keep in mind that the noodles will not stay crunchy.

Yummy! I've had lots of variations of this and I love this one. I made 1/2 recipe and it actually made enough for at least 6 side dish sized portions. I omitted sunflower seeds for personal taste, used a small can of cooked chicken, 1 bag of packaged coleslaw mix (with carrots), and proportions were great. I did let the dressing sit about 1/2 hour to let the sugar dissolve. Great amount of dressing. I just wish the noodles stayed crispy as leftovers because I'd eat it all week!

This was such a great salad! I very rarely eat cabbage, basically only in Asian food and cabbage rolls, and I loved this. I used Napa cabbage and scaled it down a bit for one. I also added a bit of slivered red bell pepper since I had it around. I mixed the dressing a little bit by trial and error trying to scaled it down but it was perfect. I thought about just using chow mein noodles but did the ramen and they were so nutty and crunchy from being browned. Thank you for posting. Had to add that if you're wanting to make this to take somewhere, keep the dressing, chickenm, crunchy noodles and nuts separate from the veggies so nothing wilts. I make it for myself and just keep everything separate until I'm ready to make a serving then I just assemble it. When I pack it for lunch I keep everything in zip bags and put it together at lunchtime. Works great!

SOOOOO good and easy. I have been making it once a week since I found the recipe and everyone who tries it wants a copy. I leave out the chicken entirely- it doesn't need it. Yummy on it's own! Thanks for posting.
