With as much as I have been traveling lately, my recipe section of the blog has been severely neglected. What'a girl to do when she doesn't have time to photograph the yummy stuff she makes for her readers? She hires other foodies to fill in the gaps! Shanna from Just Us Four came up with this amazing Chicken Asian Slaw Recipe for me because a) I love cole slaw and b) I am only going to be home three days over the next few weeks and that leaves absolutely zero time for foodie posts!
Sounds good, right?
I've never really thought about making an actual dish with Ramen noodles, except for well, Ramen noodles!
Chicken Asian Slaw Recipe
Ingredients
2 cups chopped cabbage {mixture of napa and green is best)
½ cup shredded carrots
1 ½ cups shredded, cooked chicken
½ cup slivered almonds, toasted
½ cup sesame seeds
1 package Oriental flavored ramen noodles
⅓ cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
¼ cup sesame oil
2 green onions, chopped
Directions
Set aside dressing package from Ramen noodles. Crush Ramen noodles into small pieces.
In a large bowl, combine cabbage, carrots, chicken, almonds and ramen noodles.
In a small bowl, combine the dressing package from the Ramen noodles, rice vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil. Stir well with a whisk.
Pour dressing over cabbage mixture and toss to combine.
Top with sesame seeds and green onions.
**If making ahead of time, store dressing separately from the dry ingredients until about 30 minutes before you are ready to eat.**
