Chinese Cabbage Salad with Chicken
Ingredients:
1 lb cooked, shredded chicken chicken breast
1/2 of a large head of Chinese Cabbage (aka Nappa or Napa Cabbage), shredded
1/2 cup scallions, thinly sliced
1 bunch radishes, halved and thinly sliced
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 packet chicken flavored ramen noodles
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup shelled sunflower seeds
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 cup light-flavored oil, like light olive oil or vegetable oil
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Put chicken, chinese cabbage, scallions, and radishes in a large bowl. Place butter on a baking sheet and put it in the oven until the butter is melted. Meanwhile, open the ramen noodles, set aside the seasoning packet, and crush the noodles. When the butter is melted, gently toss crushed ramen noodles, almonds, and sunflower seeds with butter, and return to the oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool. In a pint-sized mason jar with a lid, combine rice vinegar, soy sauce, oil, sugar, and ramen noodle seasoning packet. Put the lid on the jar and shake vigorously until well-combined. Add toasted noodle mixture and dressing to salad, toss, and serve immediately. Serves 8.
