Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 packs Ramen noodles (uncooked, discard seasoning packet)
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast (shredded or diced)
- 4 cups Coleslaw mix
- 3 stalks Green onions (sliced thinly)
- 1 cup Sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (optional)
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 4 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Break the uncooked ramen noodles into small pieces and spread them out evenly on a baking sheet along with the sliced almonds and sesame seeds.
Toast the mixture in the oven for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, coleslaw mix, and sliced green onions.
In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, granulated sugar, sesame oil, and vegetable oil until the sugar dissolves and the dressing is smooth.
Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss until well combined.
Add the cooled ramen noodle, almond, and sesame seed mixture to the salad and toss lightly to combine, ensuring the crunch remains intact.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
