Oriental Cabbage Slaw

This recipe is one of many that I inherited from my mother. It's a classy salad with great flavour and is extremely versatile. Serve it as an entree by adding 2 cups diced cooked chicken, or skip the chicken and throw it alongside your favorite soup, casserole, or main dish. Makes a great offering for potluck suppers too.Ingredients:

4 cups shredded cabbage

2 cups diced cooked chicken (optional)

1 package chicken-flavored Ramen noodles

4 green onions, chopped

2 Tbsp sesame seeds

1/4 cup vinegar

1/4 cup salad oil

2 Tbsp sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

1 flavoring packet from Ramen noodles

1/2 cup slivered almonds

Place chicken (if using) and cabbage in mixing bowl.

Break up noodles and place in colander. Pour boiling water over to soften slightly.

Add noodles, green onions and sesame seeds to cabbage.


Combine vinegar, salad oil, sugar, salt and contents of flavoring packet.

Pour oil/vinegar mixture over cabbage. Mix well.

Cover and refrigerate overnight or for several hours.

Just before serving, stir in slivered almonds. Serves 6-8.
