Equipment

Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • ½ pound cooked cubed boneless skinless chicken (or shredded)
  • 3 ounce package ramen noodles (uncooked and discard seasoning packet)
  • ⅓ cup sliced almonds
  • 8 ounces coleslaw mix with red cabbage
  • 2 green onions
  • 1 Tablespoon sesame seeds

For the Dressing:

  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon onion powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Slice the green onions.
  • Place the sesame seeds in a dry skillet (no oil) over medium heat. Cook, shaking the pan and stirring often until the seeds are fragrant and golden brown, about 3 minutes. Don’t leave the pan because the seeds can easily burn.
  • Remove immediately from the heat and transfer to a plate to stop the cooking.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Crumble uncooked ramen into small pieces and place on a baking sheet along with the sliced almonds, spread into an even layer.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden, tossing once halfway through baking, about 6 - 8 minutes total.
  • Set aside to cool.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients until well blended.
  • To two large dinner bowls, add the coleslaw mix, green onions, cooked chicken, toasted ramen with almonds and toasted sesame seeds, dived evenly.
  • Drizzle dressing over tops and toss to evenly coat.
  • Serve immediately for the best results.

Notes
