I’ve made this for at least 30 yrs. A gang of us would go to the gym then come home and pig out on this stuff. I love it and it brings back some happy memories.
I made it just as recipe called. We loved it.
Super easy
I also used a combination of vinegars, used a package of ready made coleslaw, cut up a little fresh broccoli and added a few craisins for color. Mixed dressing with the seasoning package of chicken ramen. Crushed the noodles and added to salad just before serving. Nice and lite side on Easter Sunday!
This was a wonderful simple and easy throw together that didn’t feel thrown together. I had red cabbage(instead of green) in the fridge and was making a shrimp tacos and wanted something tasty to top it with. Subbedthe sugar with monk fruit sugar (0 calories) and a splash of reg sugar as I find monk fruit sugar doesn’t dissolve easily but really like the flavor. I didn’t use reg vinegar, but honestly wished I did as I think that kick would have been even better than using the rice wine vinegar and splash of prosecco wine vinegar that I used. Over thought it I think. Will make again!
I put a collander in a bowl, place ramen noodles in collander, run hot water over noodles, and let soak a couple of minutes. Drain and add to other ingredients. For a bit of color shredded carrots and yummy cashews? Even grapes if I have on hand.
Needed a quick salad, this one looked perfect. I changed it a up bit using chopped mixed nuts, added a little chopped onion, omitted the vinegar and added shredded chicken. It tasted great and got lots of complements.
Great recipe and very delicious! We sometimes use a pre-cut broccoli salad mix instead of cabbage and love it!
Basic recipe needed more flavor, so I added 5 sliced green onions, dried cilantro and sesame seeds. I didn’t have sunflower seeds so used sliced toasted almonds. Was very good.
Excellent, although I HIGHLY recommend using sesame oil instead of standard vegetable oil. That’s what I used, and the result tastes just like the dressing that comes with “Asian inspired” salad kits. Also, a bag of coleslaw is a great substitute if you don’t have a cabbage on hand or don’t want to chop one.
I use this recipe as a base and add a touch of sesame oil, black sesame seeds, a couple chopped green onions and fresh, chopped cilantro. My husband and son love the flavor of the extra spicy, chicken ramen. Sooooo easy and tasty!!
Will make it again
I cut three green onions including tops and added to the cabbage
I was looking for a simple version of this type of salad, and this was perfect. I can alter it when I want to make it more elaborate, but it tastes great just as it is, and it’s very quick to assemble. I make it the night before, to let the ramen soften a little.
I make it with 2tbs sugar and three vinegar and add the ramen season packets to the dressing mix with green onion, slivered almonds and toasted sesame seeds! Yum
I have made this salad through out the years but forgot measurements. I decided to change up our New Year traditional cabbage and black eye peas. Was delicious with black eye peas. Happy New Year !
Excellent and different enough. My guy loved it! We had it two nights in a row and we each had two servings. I kept dressing and ramen/sunflower seed mixture separate.
Love this dish. I wait to put my ramen noodles in until right before it’s ready to serve. They will get soggy and lose the crunchiness.
It was delicious as written. I added 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil because it was in the cupboard. It added to the flavor. I will definitely make this again. served with teriyaki chicken over rice – great quick meal.
I do use the flavor packs, it’s not that much MSG for the amount of salad this makes. Also just a little minced garlic and mix the dressing up in my Bullet. Everyone loves when I make this. Thanks.
Great and easy basic recipe that gets better as it sits in fridge. Good one to make on weekend and take to work for lunch during week. A few variations: I used rice wine vinegar, added chopped green onions and a pound of chicken marinated in a bottled Teryaki sauce for a punch of protein!
