Asian Chicken Cole Slaw Recipes

Steps:

• To prepare slaw, combine the first 7 ingredients in a large bowl.
• To prepare dressing, combine cider vinegar and next 6 ingredients in a small bowl.
• Stir and pour dresssing over the slaw: toss to coat.
• Cover and chill 1 hour.
• Sprinkle with slivered almonds and sesame seeds before serving.

Steps:

• Toss all vegetables and sesame seeds to combine. In small bowl, whisk dressing ingredients. Pour dressing over cabbage mixture; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving; toss again before serving.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, carrots, green onions and cilantro. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients. Pour over cabbage mixture and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until chilled.

Steps:

• Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until it is tender but still firm to the bite, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain the pasta and rinse it under cold water to cool it completely. Drain the pasta again, pat it dry and add it to the mixing bowl.
• Finely shred the cabbage and grate or finely chop the carrots. Roll the basil leaves up into tight cylinders and cut across them to create fine shreds and add them to the mixing bowl. Toss the salad with the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Steps:

• For the dressing: Whisk the vegetable oil, vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, soy sauce and sugar in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
• For the salad: Mix the onions, cabbage, jalapeno and green pepper in a large bowl. Toss the salad with enough of the dressing to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. The salad can be made 3 hours ahead, covered and chilled. When ready to serve, mix in the cilantro and garnish with the peanuts on top.

Steps:

• Whisk together mayo, lime juice, ginger and sesame oil.
• Add cole slaw mix, cilantro and onion and mix together.
• If desired, you can use 2 Tb mayo and 1 Tb chipotle mayo for a little spice.

Steps:

• Sauté the chicken pieces in olive and sesame oils until browned. Drain and set aside.
• In a very large bowl, stir together the dressing ingredients well.
• Add the browned chicken and coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage to the dressing and toss well to coat. Set aside.
• Into a bowl, break up the ramen noodles into smaller pieces. In a saucepan, heat the amount of water according to package directions to a brisk boil and add the seasoning packets. Add the bowl of noodles all at once to the boiling seasoned water and cook, stirring occasionally, for 90 seconds. (You want the noodles slightly cooked, but not as limp as ramen will get if you cook it fully.) When noodles have cooked for 90 seconds, remove from heat and immediately drain.
• Add the semi-cooked drained ramen noodles to the coleslaw and toss again to combine well.
• Place salad in a large container and chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours (it helps to cool and chill them if you stir the slaw a couple of times during chilling).
• Makes 4 entrée-size servings. You can always stretch this salad by adding additional meat or packages of ramen! We've even added more semi-cooked ramen the next day to the leftovers. :).
• Note: for folks who like their salad spicy, the addition of crushed red pepper is nice, or a bit of Tabasco in the dressing. A bit of minced fresh sweet basil is also nice in this recipe. My husband sometimes adds sliced black olives to his serving. I also use about a 1/2 cup of slivered almonds, because I love their taste and texture in the salad.
• Note #2: if you don't have yogurt, you can use sour cream instead, but yogurt is preferred.
• Note #3: if taking to a picnic or potluck and you're concerned about the mayo in it, you might consider using Vegenaise instead of regular mayo, which has no eggs in it. Tastes just like old fashioned mayo, but lower fat and no eggs. See http://www.followyourheart.com for more info.

Steps:

• Mix dressing ingredients in a small jar and store in refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Layer cabbage, celery, green onions and chicken; set aside.
• Add toasted sesame seeds and toasted almonds and top ramen noodles just before adding dressing.
• Toss and serve immediately for best flavor and "crunch" (although leftovers are a welcome lunch in my opinion).

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients.
• Add chicken and let stand 5 minutes.
• Add cabbage, celery, onion, and cilantro.
• Season.
• Chill at least 1 hour to blend flavors.
• Toss now and then.
