ORIENTAL CHICKEN SALAD WITH CRUNCHY RAMEN NOODLES
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!

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.
ORIENTAL RAMEN COLE SLAW SALAD
This is an excellent recipe I got from my grandmother who has been making this for years. It's always a hit, especially at potlucks. Even my husband likes it and he isnt a cole slaw eater! Instead of sunflower seeds cashews can be added as a variation.

CREAMY ORIENTAL SALAD DRESSING SAM CHOY
This salad dressing comes from Sam Choy, one of my favorite Hawaiian chefs along with Alan Wong and Roy Yamaguchi. The dressing is good just as it is, but you can also use this dressing as a jumping off place for improvising such as addition of garlic, hot pepper, etc. Ono good!

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in blender and blend at medium speed 3-4 seconds until celery is finely grated.
- This can be served immediately, but the flavors will blend better if refrigerated about an hour before serving.
- The fewer substitutions you have to make, the better, of course, but I've used each of these at one time or other, and still been happy with the results. Send me any other substitutions you've tried!

- Bring broth to simmer in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and simmer until just cooked through, about 7 minutes. Transfer to work surface to cool. Add snow peas to broth and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer peas to bowl of cold water. Drain. Set aside.

Tips:
- Choose fresh and colorful vegetables. The fresher the vegetables, the more vibrant and flavorful your salad will be. Look for vegetables that are in season, as they will be at their peak flavor.
- Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of vegetables. The more variety you have, the more interesting your salad will be. Some good combinations include:
- Cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions
- Carrots, celery, and radishes
- Spinach, strawberries, and goat cheese
- Kale, Brussels sprouts, and bacon
- Add some protein to your salad. This will help to make it a more filling and satisfying meal. Some good options include:
- Grilled chicken or fish
- Tofu
- Beans or lentils
- Nuts or seeds
- Don't forget the dressing! A good dressing can really make or break a salad. There are many different types of dressings to choose from, so find one that you like and that complements the flavors of your salad.
- Serve your salad immediately. Salads are best when they are fresh, so don't let them sit around for too long before serving.
