Yes it looks like we abandoned our blog. Sad! And we don't sign our names, so I don't know whose recipe is whose. The only time I think about our blog, is when I am going through my cupboard full of recipes. Its so disorganized I can't find anything. The recipe I'm looking for today is Chinese Chicken Salad. I got this recipe from Mom, who got it from Aunt Terry - I think. I made a few changes. It's really easy and yummy! I have cabbage I need to use from my bountiful basket veggies this week so here it is:
1 large head of cabbage
8 green onions
4 chicken breasts -cooked and cubed (I used 2 cans of canned chicken from Costco - its easier)
4 oz slivered almonds
4 Tbsp sesame seeds
2 packages of Ramen noodles broken into pieces
put noodles, almonds and sesame seeds on a baking sheet - toast under the broiler - watch them. They toast fast around 5 minutes I think.
Chop or shred the cabbage, add chopped green onions, toasted noodles, seeds and nuts. Add chicken. Toss with dressing:
Dressing
2 spice packets from Ramen soup
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1/2 c oil
notes: I have 1 and 1/2 times the recipe for the salad but not increased the dressing at all- it seems like plenty. So you may not need the entire amount of dressing for the salad.
-Also the original dressing recipe may not have used the spice packets, but it did have 1/2 tsp salt, 1and 1/2 tsp Accent seasoning and 1/2 to 1 tsp pepper. If it did use the spice packets, that seems pretty spicy. Its a little unclear. But I never put any of that in. You could try some sesame oil too - but not too much!
