CHANG'S CRISPY NOODLE SALAD
This back-of-packet salad from the packet of Chang's Crispy Noodles is an Aussie staple! I've tweaked the dressing slightly to make it less oily and reduce the sugar, and it's still just as good in my opinion.Serve with everything - it might have Asian roots, but it appears at every backyard BBQ alongside snags, steaks and kebabs!

Steps:
- Toast almonds: Lightly toast the slivered almonds in a small skillet over medium heat until lightly browned (no oil). Remove immediately and let cool.
- Dressing: Shake Dressing ingredients in a jar until sugar is dissolved. (This keeps for 3 weeks!)
- Shred cabbage: Cut cabbage (see photos in post, helpful): cut 1 slit down the middle lengthwise (or 2, if it's giant like the one I used). Then finely slice so it's shredded. Just use the top 1/2 - 2/3, mostly leafy part. Reserve the thick crunchy white part for another use (excellent in stir fries!).
- Toss everything except crispy noodles: Place cabbage in a big bowl with toasted almonds and green onions. Pour over Dressing, toss well.
- Add crispy noodles! Toss through noodles just before serving so they stay crisp!
CRUNCHY NOODLE SALAD *AWARD WINNING*
Asian inspired salad that EVERYONE asks me to bring, make or share. I actually had my voice on TV and won a $320 wok for this recipe! I have updated and modified it to be healthier and easier! Hope you like it! Submitted for World Tour Asian and SW catagories as it is very popular here in TX. NOTE: We never liked the 'leftover' salad as the crunchy parts got soggy except for the almonds until I got the bright idea to add the leftover salad to a tortilla and make it into a wrap. (I amaze myself sometimes! lol) I placed the tortilla/wrapper in a skillet and flipped after the first side was warmed. Laid some sliced sandwich meat -whatever you like- on the warmed side and let the new side warm. Remove from pan and add leftover salad- drain any dressing from it to get it a little drier. Roll up and serve- WOW! Try adding other stuff to it as well. We liked raisins, dried cranberries, shredded carrots, chopped celery etc... Salad recipe can also be found on: greatdayamerica.com

SESAME-CABBAGE SALAD WITH CRISPY NOODLES
I wanted an Asian-style cabbage salad with crispy noodles and lots of herbs, but wanted to avoid the salt and oil of most of the recipes on the site. I modified the lovely sesame-cabbage salad (recipe #55001) by omitting the red cabbage, and adding the crispy noodles just before serving.
