ORIENTAL CHICKEN SALAD WITH CRUNCHY RAMEN NOODLES



Oriental Chicken Salad with Crunchy Ramen Noodles image

This is a salad that even non-cabbage eaters love. It is nice and crunchy with great flavor. I once took it to a potluck in my apartment complex and then had to put the recipe up on the bulletin board because everyone wanted the recipe!

Provided by -Tulip-

Categories     Chicken

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 -3 cups chopped cooked chicken breasts (depending on the amount of chicken you like)
1 head cabbage, shredded or chopped
1 bunch green onion, finely chopped (or to taste)
2 (2 1/2 ounce) packages slivered almonds
3 tablespoons sunflower seeds
2 packages Top Ramen noodles or 2 packages other ramen-type soup
3 tablespoons oil
3/4 cup vegetable oil or 3/4 cup canola oil
4 1/2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
4 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper

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.

Provided by Rick B2

Categories     Healthy

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (Cut each half lengthwise into 2 pieces to create a total of 8 pieces)
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup (undiluted)
1 egg
seasoning salt (to taste)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper (to taste)
oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Combine soup, egg and seasoned salt in a bowl and set aside (soup is already salted so be careful on amount of seasoned salt you add).
  • Mix together flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a resealable plastic bag.
  • Dip chicken pieces into soup mixture and turn so as to coat all over.
  • Place chicken pieces (one at a time) in bag with flour mixture, seal bag and shake to coat chicken (if more flour mixture is needed, add equal amounts of flour and cornstarch to bag).
  • Place coated pieces of chicken on a platter and allow to set until the coating becomes doughy (this is critical to ensure crispiness when fried).
  • Heat oil in a deep fryer or in a skillet over medium heat, using enough oil to cover chicken pieces when fried (you can test oil in skillet by dropping a piece of the doughy coating into the hot oil- oil is ready when dough begins frying immediately).
  • Once chicken is doughy, fry pieces in oil for approx 5-8 minutes or until cooked through and juices run clear.
  • Drain pieces on paper towel and serve.

8 ounces shredded cooked chicken breast (about 2 cups)

Nutrition Facts : Calories 384 g, Fat 18 g, Fiber 2 g, Protein 37 g

Tips:

  • To achieve the crispiest chicken, use a combination of flour, cornstarch, and seasonings for the coating.
  • Make sure the chicken is completely dry before coating it, as any moisture will prevent the coating from adhering properly.
  • Use a generous amount of oil for frying the chicken. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Fry the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
  • Keep a close eye on the chicken while it is frying, and adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
  • Once the chicken is cooked through, drain it on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the chicken immediately, while it is still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Crunchy chicken is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you are serving it as a main course, an appetizer, or a snack, these recipes will help you to create the perfect crispy chicken dish.
