    • Crunchy Ramen Noodles Chinese Chicken Salad with Dressing

    Ingredients & notes

    Ingredients: cabbage, ramen noodles, green onions, almonds, sesame seeds, chicken

    Chicken – I use store bought rotisserie chicken for ease and convenience. 

    Cabbage – If you like colorful salads, mix the green cabbage with red cabbage. 

    Almonds – I used sliced almonds, but slivered almonds can be used as well. 

    Ramen noodles – this is the dried instant noodles that come in ramen packages. 

    Sesame seeds – Toasted seeds have a nice, nutty flavor. 

    Asian chicken salad dressing Ingredients

    Ingredients: oil, sugar, vinegar, sesame oil and soy sauce.

    Instructions

    steps on how to make a chicken salad with ramen noodles.

    1). Toast the ramen noodles and almonds in a pan on the stovetop on medium heat for 3-4 minutes. 

    2). To make the salad dressing, add soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar and salt to a bowl, then whisk in the canola oil. When ready to serve, add the dressing to the cabbage and chicken.

    3). Toss and mix well.

    4). Top with the toasted ramen and almonds and sprinkle with sesame seeds. 

    Pro Tips

    • Add mandarin oranges for extra flavor and a nice, bright acidity. 
    • Best to dress the salad when ready to serve. 
    • To store leftovers, the salad keeps overnight with salad dressing but ramen noodles and almonds will not stay crunchy. 
    • To keep the toppings crunchy, top right before serving.
