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!

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.

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

Chicken
2½ lb. skinless, boneless chicken thighs
4 large garlic cloves
3 Tbsp. finely chopped cilantro roots or stems
3 Tbsp. oyster sauce
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. light brown sugar
2 tsp. fish sauce
2 tsp. freshly ground white or black pepper
1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt
Dressing
2 large red chiles (such as Fresno), thinly sliced
¼ cup apple cider vinegar or distilled white vinegar
2 Tbsp. light brown sugar
2 tsp. fish sauce
Garlic
5 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
¼ cup vegetable oil
Noodles and assembly
5 (3-oz.) packages instant ramen (such as Maruchan), seasoning packets discarded
Vegetable oil (for grill)
Fish sauce and apple cider vinegar (for seasoning)
3 scallions, thinly sliced
4 cups thinly sliced romaine lettuce
½ cup coarsely chopped cilantro
1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt
½ cup chopped unsalted roasted peanuts

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.

Tips:

  • For the Best Flavor, Marinate the Chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and green onions for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, will infuse it with delicious umami flavor.
  • Cook the Chicken Perfectly: To ensure the chicken is juicy and tender, cook it over medium heat until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Overcooking will dry out the chicken, so be careful not to overcook it.
  • Use High-Quality Ramen Noodles: The quality of the ramen noodles you use will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for high-quality ramen noodles made with wheat flour and alkaline water. These noodles will have a better texture and flavor than instant ramen noodles.
  • Add Your Favorite Vegetables: Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to the salad. Some good options include shredded carrots, sliced cucumbers, bell peppers, or snap peas.
  • Make it a Complete Meal: To make the salad a complete meal, add some protein, such as grilled chicken, tofu, or shrimp. You can also add a hard-boiled egg or some avocado for extra nutrition.

Conclusion:

Grilled Chicken Ramen Salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrition and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and healthy meal, give this Grilled Chicken Ramen Salad a try!
