In order to create a dinner that is both satiating and comprehensive, it is topped with delicate rotisserie chicken, making it suitable for any occasion.

Ingredients:

For the Salad:

  1. 1 package uncooked ramen noodles (discard the seasoning packet)
  2. 1/4 cup butter
  3. 1/2 cup sesame seeds
  4. 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  5. 1 head Napa cabbage, shredded
  6. 6 green onions, chopped
  7. 1 can mandarin oranges, drained
  8. 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded (optional for adding protein)

For the Dressing:

  1. 1/4 cup canola oil
  2. 1/4 cup vinegar (rice vinegar, white wine vinegar, or regular white vinegar)
  3. 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  4. 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  5. 1/8 cup sugar

Method:

  1. To prepare the crunchy topping, break the ramen noodles into little pieces while they are still in the box. This will bring about the desired texture. Put away for later.
  2. To melt the butter, place it in a big pan and set the heat to medium. To the skillet, add the ramen noodles that have been broken up, the sesame seeds, and the almonds that have been slivered. As the noodles and nuts are cooked, mix them regularly until they get a golden brown colour and a toasted flavour. Ensure that you do not set fire to them. Take the pan off the heat and let it to cool.
  3. To make the dressing, put the sugar, canola oil, vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a small dish and whisk them together until the sugar is completely dissolved and the dressing is well mixed. Place the bowl in the refrigerator.
  4. Put together the salad by:
  5. Put the shredded Napa cabbage, sliced green onions, and mandarin oranges that have been drained into a large salad bowl before mixing them together.
  6. If you are using it, pour the shredded chicken from the rotisserie into the salad dish.
  7. After the ramen noodle combination has had time to cool, sprinkle it over the top of the salad.
  8. The salad should be dressed by pouring the dressing over the salad just before serving and tossing it well to ensure that all of the ingredients are uniformly coated.
  9. In order to preserve the crunchiness of the ramen noodles, it is important to serve the salad as soon as the dressing has been applied.

Advice:
Variation on the Dressing: To get the desired level of sweetness in the dressing, you may adjust the amount of sugar by adding more or less sugar. Honey may also be used as a potential replacement for sugar in order to get a distinct flavour.
Use Greens: If you want to add more colour and nutrition to your dish, you may want to think about including other greens such baby spinach or kale.
Storage: If you are going to prepare the salad ahead of time, make sure to keep the dressing, crunchy toppings, and salad components independent until just before serving. This will ensure that everything remains crisp and fresh.
The Napa Cabbage Salad with Crunchy Ramen Topping is a meal that is not only simple to prepare but also tasty, and it is ideal for picnics, potlucks, or even a light lunch.
