Sesame Chicken & Cabbage Salad with Crunchy Ramen Noodles

I would think that eatingwell would stay clear of canola oil. It is not healthy .

Love IT I usually make my chicken and pasta in an Italian style, like this chicken, angle hair, and sundried tomato, http://tiny.cc/7yaev, but loved the Chinese style in this dish.

Great startAnybody try rice stick noodles instead of the Ramin?Add toasted sesame oil for sure and reduce the dressing to about half.I also used lightly grilled chicken, flavored with garlic and ginger. YummyPros: Nice summery meal

Very filling, tasty salad. The dressing was a bit watery, but the flavor was excellent. Like others, I used marinated grilled chicken instead of poached, which added a little more flavor, texture, and color.

I liked this recipe. The flavors were great. But it was a little dry...it needed more dressing.

I thought this was a great recipe as displayed however, after a few modifications...it became a 5 star recipe. 1. I purchased a pre-roasted chicken to save time 2. I substituted honey for the sugar 3. I added powdered Ginger from Penzeys Spices 4. I followed the recommendation from one of the reviewers to use toasted sesame oil for roasting the Ramen noodles. 5. I found that the resulting sauce was too watery. It collected on the bottom of my plate without coating the salad much....so the next day I reduced it to half on the cook top. The results: WOW! What a big bang in flavor! And....I didn't have to use much of the sauce to flavor the salad!

So good! I used sesame oil instead of canola oil for the crunchies. Only 5 minutes in the oven b/c it was already hot from my go to "cooked chicken" recipe (poached chicken = ick). Put about a tablespoon minced garlic/ginger combo in the dressing.

Five stars for the dressing!

I just made this salad today. I used leftover grilled chicken instead and I also added some shredded lettuce. I left all of the components separate so that I can make individual salads for a couple of days without letting it get soggy. Really love it!
