Chinese Chicken Chopped Salad

Savory Eats

Today is Seis de Mayo, thus I wouldn't touch Mexican food with a 10 foot pole. If you also overdosed on guacamole yesterday, it's very likely you feel the same. So, today I am sharing my mom's famous Chinese Chicken Salad recipe - laborious for a salad, but SO worth the effort...

MmMmMmMmmm

Ingredients:

*This recipe makes enough salad for an army (roughly 8-10 servings), but can be doubled/tripled for larger parties.

• Salad
• 2 heads of Napa cabbage, chopped
• 6 green onions, chopped
• 4 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
• 2 packs of Ramen noodles (chicken flavor)
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds
• Dressing
• 3/4 cup sesame oil
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup rice wine vinegar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 flavor packet from the Ramen noodles

Napa Cabbage (can be hard to find)

Recipe:

1. Crush the (uncooked) Ramen noodles so that they are in smaller pieces. Set aside:

2. Mix all the dressing ingredients together in a bowl. Add the crushed Ramen noodles. Refrigerate the noodles in the dressing for a few hours so the noodles can soften and soak up the dressing flavor:

3. Chop up all the salad ingredients (cabbage, green onions) and shred the chicken breast (you can buy a whole roasted chicken and shred the breasts for convenience. Otherwise, boil 4 chicken breasts in salted water until cooked through, then shred):

4. An hour before serving, add the cabbage, onions, chicken, and almonds to a large bowl. Pour the dressing and noodles on top. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve when the flavors have blended together!
