Crunchy Chicken Salad gets its crunch from cashews or peanuts, your choice. This salad is a fantastic as a light lunch. I have served this recipe in salad leaves and also with the chicken and nuts still warm for variation. Everything seems to work just fine.

 

Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp butter
  • 1 package (3 oz or 90 grams) Oriental Noodles
  • 2 Tbsp sesame seeds
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup white vinegar (or rice vinegar for sweetness if you prefer)
  • 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
  • ½ cup dry-roasted cashews (or peanuts for more crunch)
  • 4 medium green onions,(Spring onions) sliced (about ¼ cup)
  • 1 bag (16 oz or 450 grams) prepared coleslaw mix

Instructions

Melt butter over medium heat.
Break block of noodles into bite-size pieces over skillet; stir noodles into butter mixture. Cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly; stir in sesame seeds. Cook about 2 minutes longer, stirring constantly until noodles are golden brown.

Mix sugar, vinegar, oil and pepper in a large bowl.

Add noodle mixture and remaining ingredients; toss.

A glass of chilled Chardonnay goes well with this chicken salad with cashews.
