Top Ramen Chicken Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan; add noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Drain.
• Mix peanut oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar together in a bowl.
• Toss dressing with chicken, noodles, and green onions. Chill for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread ramen noodles, sunflower seeds, and almonds onto a baking sheet.
• Bake noodles, sunflower seeds, and almonds in the preheated oven until fragrant and toasted, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
• Combine coleslaw mix and green onions in a large bowl. Pour cooled noodle mixture over the top.
• Whisk olive oil, reserved ramen seasoning packets, vinegar, sugar, and black pepper together in a bowl until dressing is smooth. Pour dressing over coleslaw and toss to coat.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, rice vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Cover and store in fridge until before serving.
• In a large bowl, combine cooked chicken, cabbage and sunflower seeds; set aside. In a pan over medium heat, warm up vegetable oil. 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.
• Add dressing that you set aside and toss to coat before serving to avoid the noodles getting soggy.

Steps:

• Prepare dressing and set aside.
• Smash noodles of Top Ramen (discard seasoning packets) and brown over medium heat in 3 tbs oil.
• Once noodles have begun to slightly brown, add slivered almonds.
• If you start to brown the Ramen and almonds at the same time, the almonds will burn before the Ramen browns.
• Once the ramen noodles have turned a dark golden brown, remove from heat and set aside.
• Combine cabbage, green onions, chicken and sunflower seeds in a large bowl.
• Add the ramen/almond mixture and stir well.
• Add dressing and stir to coat.
• 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:

• Slice chicken into small, thin 1 inch strips. In a large size Dutch oven or deep sauce pan, over medium heat, add the oil, chicken and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sauté chicken until it starts to brown. Set aside.
• In a Dutch oven or deep sauce pan, combine the water, noodles and bouillon, turn on high heat until the noodles just start to break up and soften.
• Add both styles of cabbage and carrots to the noodles, turn the heat down to medium-high and bring the noodle mixture to a boil for 2 minutes, uncovered.
• Remove from heat and stir in all 3 seasoning packets that came with the Ramen.
• Drain and add the pineapple, water chestnuts, the sesame oil, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and chicken.
• Mix well and add green onions, mix again to completely combine.
• Add almonds on top or on individual servings.
• Serves 4 (makes 6 cups).
