Asian Style Ham Noodle Salad What To Do With Ham Leftovers Recipes

Steps:

• Cook the chow mein noodles as directed, rinse in cold water to stop them from growing, and then drain and then set aside.
• Julienne the ham--long, thin slices work well with the chow mein.
• Add in veggies. Make sure if you are using crunchy veggies to cook first if necessary (green beans).
• If you have pineapple on hand, julienne it, and add to the ham.
• Toss ham-veggie mixture with Asian Restaurant Ginger-Soy salad dressing (recipe below, the last five ingredients from the list above), along with the noodles, and serve over a bed of fresh greens, such as spinach, romaine, endive, etc.
• Asian Restaurant Ginger-Soy Salad Dressing-Grate enough fresh ginger root (a couple of tablespoons) to squeeze out 1 tablespoon of ginger juice. To the ginger juice add 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 3 tablespoons rice vinegar, and 1/3 cup of salad oil. If you have sesame seeds, toss in a tablespoon (especially love the toasted kind, called irigoma). Whisk and then serve. Remember how to make this dressing--it is to-die-for delicious with so many other salads, and is ridiculously easy to make.
