ORIENTAL CHICKEN SALAD WITH CRUNCHY RAMEN NOODLES

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.

• Place bok choy, onion, and toasted ramen noodle mixture in a large bowl. Toss with dressing until well coated.

CRUNCHY CABBAGE AND RAMEN NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Place cole slaw mix in a large salad bowl. Whisk together the rice vinegar, sesame oil, canola oil, honey and ramen seasoning packet, and pour it over the cabbage mix. Toss several times to thoroughly blend ingredients. Refrigerate at least 1 hour (or several hours, if possible), to allow the flavors to blend.
• 2. With ramen noodles still in its unopened package, twist and turn the package several times (or run a rolling pin across it several times) to crush and break up the ramen noodles into small pieces. Place ramen pieces and almonds in a dry skillet, and place over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes or just until lightly browned. Don't let it burn. Set pan aside to let noodles and almonds cool completely.
• 3. Just before serving, fold cooled ramen noodles, almonds, chow mein noodles and green onions into the cabbage mix. Let stand 5 minutes to allow the dressing to soak into the dry noodles a bit.
• 4. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top, and serve chilled or at room temperature.

CRUNCHY ASIAN RAMEN NOODLE SALAD (A.K.A. BASICALLY THE BEST POTLUCK SALAD EVER)

Steps:

• To Make The Salad: (Optional first step: Heat oven to 425 degrees. Spread the crumbled ramen noodles and sliced almonds out on a baking sheet, and stir a bit to combine. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the almonds and noodles are slightly toasted and golden. Remove baking sheet, and give the mixture a good stir to toss. Then return it to the oven and toast for an additional 3 minutes. Keep a very close eye on the mixture so that it does not burn. Remove and set aside.) Add ingredients (including the vinaigrette) together in a large bowl, and toss until combined. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. (This salad is much better eaten the first day, as the noodles lose their "crunch" the longer it sits, and the avocado may brown a bit. Still, it's perfectly edible and enjoyable even after a few days!) To Make The Vinaigrette: Whisk all ingredients together until combined.
