Add Top Ramen noodles (without flavor packets) and cook until slightly brown. Add slivered almonds to the ramen and continue stirring over heat until golden brown. Once cool, add ramen mixture to the chicken/cabbage mixture and stir to combine.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread ramen noodles, sunflower seeds, and almonds onto a baking sheet.

• I generally prepare the dressing right before serving.
• If it sits in the refrigerator too long, it gets very thick and won't remix well.
• Also, this amount of dressing is just the right amount to give the salad a good coating.
• If you are one of those who likes more dressing, I would recommend making 1/2 batch of extra dressing.
• If you plan on eating this left over, keep in mind that the noodles will not stay crunchy.

Steps:

• Cook noodles without adding the seasonings or oil that come with the package (reserve those), otherwise following the package directions.
• Rinse cooked noodles with cold water until cold and drain well.
• Add the oil from the noodle package (or drizzle with 1-2 tsp sesame oil if your doesn't come with oil).
• Be careful- sometimes the oil that comes with the ramen is hot chili oil; if so use sesame oil instead.
• Chill noodles while preparing the dressing.
• Mix together lemon juice, canola oil, the dry seasoning packet from the Ramen soup, and the sugar.
• Mix together the chilled noodles, fruit, chives, and chicken.
• Add dressing and toss to coat.
• Stir in nuts or just sprinkle over each serving.

Steps:

• Chicken
• Place chicken in a medium bowl. Process garlic, cilantro roots, oyster sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, fish sauce, pepper, and salt in a small food processor until smooth. Using a rubber spatula, scrape marinade into bowl with chicken and mix well. Cover and chill at least 4 hours and up to 12 hours.
• Dressing
• Place chiles, vinegar, brown sugar, and fish sauce in a small glass jar; cover and shake to combine. Do ahead: Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Store at room temperature.
• Garlic
• Cook garlic and oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat, stirring often, until garlic begins to turn light brown around the edges, about 2 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until garlic is medium brown and crisp, about 1 minute more. Immediately strain oil through a fine-mesh sieve into a small heatproof bowl. Let cool. Do ahead: Garlic can be cooked 1 day ahead. Transfer garlic oil and crispy garlic to separate airtight containers and store at room temperature.
• Noodles and Assembly
• Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling water according to package directions. Drain and return noodles to pot. Pour in lukewarm water to cover and stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to release as much starch from noodles as possible. Drain and repeat until water is clear. Drain well, shaking off excess moisture. Transfer noodles to a large bowl, pour in garlic oil, and toss to coat.
• Prepare a grill for high heat; lightly oil grate. Grill chicken until lightly charred on both sides and an instant read-thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°, 8-10 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
• Add dressing to noodles and toss well to coat. Taste and add more fish sauce and/or vinegar if needed; noodles should be salty and sour with sweetness trailing behind. Add scallions, lettuce, cilantro, salt, half of peanuts, and half of crispy garlic and toss to combine.
• Transfer noodles to a platter and arrange chicken on top. Sprinkle crispy garlic and remaining peanuts over. Do ahead: Noodles can be cooked and dressed with oil 6 hours ahead. Store tightly covered at room temperature.
