Chinese chicken salad

This is a great recipe to take to a party or to have as a main dish.

1 head chopped cabbage (or 1 bag of coleslaw mix)
2 packs of oriental ramen noodles (blue package)
1/2 c butter
3 Tbsp sesame seeds
1 cup slivered almonds
1 small chopped red pepper
1 can mandarin oranges drained
1 grilled chicken breast cut into cubes

Melt butter in pan. Break up noodles and brown in butter until toasted light brown and crunchy.  Do not add the noodle flavoring to the pan. Let cool.
Toss everything together in salad bowl.

Dressing
1/2 c salad oil
1 c sugar
6 Tbsp rice vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
ONE small packet of the oriental ramen flavoring

Mix all together.
If you are taking it to a party wait until you get there to add the dressing. If you are serving it as a main dish I would just top it after it is on your plate. The dressing can make it soggy if it sits for too long so wait until last minute to put it on.

This was really yummy. I waited and put the dressing on top after it was on my plate. Good one Ang
