ASIAN CHICKEN SALAD
A perfect salad for leftover BBQ, boiled, broiled or baked chicken. A very crunchy salad with a tasty sweet Asian-style dressing. The kids love it too!

Steps:
- Prepare the dressing 30 minutes ahead of time by combining the brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, salad oil, and rice vinegar in a salad dressing carafe.
- To prepare the Chinese rice noodles, heat a skillet with a few tablespoons of oil and break off a little bit of the noodles and add them to the skillet and fry them. They will puff up in the skillet, so only add a few at a time. As they begin to puff up, remove and drain them on paper towels. Be sure to cook long enough as the under cooked noodles will be like eating needles. Once cooked, add them to the salad mixture.
- In a large bowl combine the iceberg lettuce, cooked and shredded chicken, green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Let chill about 10 minutes, and just before serving add the cooked rice noodles. Serve in salad bowls and offer the dressing in a pourable container so your family can add as much dressing as they want. You can also pour the dressing over the top of the salad, toss, and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Firstly, yuo need to place all you marinade ingredients in to a glass bowl and place your chicken thighs on top, mix them until they are thoroughly covered in the marinade and put in the fridge for between 30 minutes and an hour
- Once the chicken has marinated for long enough, put a griddle pan on high heat (do not add any oil, just heat it dry) and place a pan of water on to boil. Whilst waiting for these to heat up share the mixed lettuce leaves between two dishes. I usually chop the lettuce further, so there is no need to use a knife.
- Once the griddle has been heating up for approximately 3 minutes put the chicken on. It is very important to a) have good ventilation because this is going to smoke a lot and b) you must not move the chicken once it begins cooking otherwise you will ruin the beautiful griddle marks. After 5 minutes on one side, turn the chicken over. Don't throw away the marinade!
- Meanwhile, your pan of water should now be boiling. throw in the turmeric, cumin and veg stock and then the noodles and leave to cook for their suggested cooking time. Once finished, drain and place on top of the lettuce leaves in the serving dishes.
- After the chicken is thoroughly cooked, chop it roughly into chunks (again this means you don't need a knife but also ensures you can check every bit is cooked through, if it isn't throw back in the pan quickly, and then place on top of the noodles.
- turn the heat down on the griddle pan and put the pak choi straight in, followed by the left over marinade.. Cook these off for another few minutes until the pak choi has softened slightly and the sauce has thickened. Add this to your stack of food and ensure the sauce is spread fully over the whole dish. It not only acts as a sauce, but as a dressing for the salad.
CRUNCHY ASIAN CHICKEN SALAD
I love their crunchy, citrusy salad so much that once I made my husband drive an hour to the nearest Applebee's restaurant just so I could eat it! It was time to come up with my own version. I'm completely happy with the results-and my husband is, too! Find more of my recipes at my blog, mandysrecipeboxblog.com. -Mandy Bird, Holbrook, Idaho

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.
CHINESE NOODLE SALAD
