Ramen Noodle Salad – Rosemary and the Goat

Ramen Noodle Slaw with Edamame

Is it a slaw or is it a salad? OR is it a coleslaw?

We’ve had this discussion before with slaws vs. coleslaws and I will repeat myself, yet again, and say I feel like slaws have an oil/vinegar type dressing where coleslaw dressing has mayonnaise as one of the ingredients. Now whether this is a salad or slaw or coleslaw is another question. Considering it is made up of vegetables I say it can go either way; salad or slaw but not coleslaw because I’ve never made a salad with mayonnaise in it. Of course there are always an exception like potato salad (mayo), chicken salad (mayo) so I guess we are just talking about salads with cabbage as the main ingredient.

Asian Ramen Crusted Chicken Salad

Ramen noodles not just for soup.

With one major holiday behind us and another one speeding toward us like an out of control train, who’s not looking for some easy to make. I’m spending most of my time online shopping (as usual) and last night during cyber Monday I was up clicking away at the last minute at 11:00.

I use to buy Ramen noodles by the case when I catered because one of my favorite salads “Crunchy Romaine Toss” (aka Emerald Green Salad) used these as a topping. Toasted in butter either in a skillet or in the oven they add a buttery taste to any salad or even a pretty good snack.

I came across this recipe in Southern Living magazine and the had the chicken one side of the plate and the salad on the other. I added several ingredients to the salad and decided I wanted my chicken chopped up on top of the salad. One thing that I did not do enough was to crush the Ramen noodles. SL recipe said to put it in a food processor; that’s the best way to get a fine crush. I put mine in a plastic bag and beat it to death; but they did not get smallenough.
