Spinning Spools

I don’t remember if I’ve shared this recipe already. I’ve had it for years and I make it several times a year, especially in the spring and summer months.

Ramen Noodle Salad

1 head cabbage, shredded (You can also use a bag of Cole slaw mix from the store – it’s easier and prettier.)

1 package ramen noodles, smashed

2 large carrots, shredded

2 bell peppers, coarsely chopped

1/2 cup sliced almonds

2 tablespoons sesame seeds

2 cups cooked chicken, coarsely chopped

Place the first seven ingredients in a large bowl. Cover and set aside while you make the dressing:

1/2 cup rice vinegar

1/4 cup sugar

1/3 cup peanut oil

1 teaspoon ground ginger

A pinch of garlic

A little soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Combine last seven ingredients and toss with the rest of the salad. Let sit in fridge at least an hour before serving.
