This is a great recipe that is a hit at potlucks. This is my adaptation of an original recipe by Ming Tsai. The dressing is best made a day ahead, and is not included in the cooking time.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup natural-style peanut butter, creamy
1/2 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon Asian chili sauce, such as sriracha
1 cup scallion, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 English cucumber, peeled seeded quartered lengthwise and sliced
1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked chilled and diced
8 ounces Chinese egg noodles, also known as sticks
toasted sesame seeds, optional for garnish

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk peanut butter, vinegar, sesame oil, sherry, soy sauce, sriracha and scallions together until smooth. Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours. (If it thickens up too much in the fridge, add a bit of water to bring it to the right consistency.).
  • After the dressing is done chilling in the fridge, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the rice noodles about 3 minutes, or until tender. (If your package has directions, follow those, but the rice noodles can quickly turn to mush if overcooked) Drain and rinse with cold water. Cut them into about 3-inch pieces and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add all your prepared veggies and chicken, then toss. Add in the cooked noodles, and gently combine. Pour the dressing over the top and stir to coat, using as much or little dressing as you'd like. Top with toasted sesame seeds and serve.

ASIAN CHICKEN NOODLE SALAD



Asian Chicken Noodle Salad image

This is the first time I ever used rice noodles (sold as Thai stir-fry rice noodles) and really liked them. By the way the original recipes suggested using rotisserie chicken but I didn't have any so put some teriyaki sauce on some boneless chicken tenders (chicken breasts) and broiled them. This salad also goes together in no time at all. I figured if following the WW flex plan this is about 8 points - which is pretty good for dinner with fruit for dessert. If you include the wonton crisps (included below) add another point or so. Game plan: (if you already have the cooked chicken), (1) make noodles, (2) prepare dressing, (3) Preheat oven for wonton crisps, (4) cut and season wonton wrappers, (5) chop vegetables (or take the shortcut and buy carrots and green peppers already cut up and cut remaining veggies), (6) bake wonton crips and prepare salad -- dinner is done in well under 30 minutes!

Tips and Conclusion

Tips:

  • To make the most flavorful chile-scallion oil, use a variety of fresh, flavorful chilies and top-quality scallions.
  • Be sure to heat the oil until it is shimmering and fragrant, but not smoking.
  • When adding the scallions to the hot oil, be careful not to splash yourself.
  • Allow the chile-scallion oil to cool slightly before using it.
  • To make the best noodles, use a high-quality ramen noodle and cook them according to the package directions.
  • Don't overcook the noodles, or they will become mushy.
  • Rinse the noodles under cold water immediately after cooking to stop the cooking process and prevent them from sticking together.
  • To make the best chicken, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs and cook them until they are cooked through but still juicy.
  • You can also use rotisserie chicken in this recipe if you're short on time.
  • When assembling the salad, be sure to evenly distribute the noodles, chicken, vegetables, and chile-scallion oil.

Conclusion:

This noodle salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. The chile-scallion oil adds a nice kick of flavor, but you can adjust the amount of heat to your liking. This salad is also a great way to use up leftover chicken.
