Chinese Chicken Salad

Everyone has their own version of the Ramen Chinese Chicken Salad.  This is my version. 

2 bags of slaw, 2 bags of Oriental Flavor Ramen and 1 Armenian cucumber.


The chicken.


Crushed Ramen and slivered almonds.


Dressing:
  • 3/4 cup canola oil
  • 1/4 cup sesame oil
  • 6 T. sugar
  • 6 T. rice wine vinegar
  • 1 packet of Oriental Ramen seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Salad:
  • 2 bags coleslaw
  • 2 packages of Oriental Ramen
  • 2 chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 Armenian cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup slivered almonds
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped, optional

Combine ingredients for dressing in a container with a tight fitting lid.  Shake well or mix well with a whisk.  Let sit at room temperature, shaking or stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved, about 1 hour.  Refrigerate until ready to use.  Crush Ramen.  In a large castiron skillet toast almonds and crushed Ramen until light golden brown. Dice chicken, cucumber and green onions.  Toss everything together with cabbage.  Toss with dressing and serve.

I often serve this as a side dish, omitting the chicken and call it Oriental Coleslaw or double it to serve a crowd!
