Ingredients

  • 1/2 head Napa cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 2 (3 to 4 oz.) pkg. dried Ramen noodles, seasoning removed, broke into bite-size pieces
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 3 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. fish sauce
  • 2 tsp. toasted sesame oil
  • 1 (1-inch)piece ginger root, peeled an grated
  • 6 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup peanuts, toasted
  • Leave from 1 bunch fresh basil, sliced
  • leaves from 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, sliced
  • leaves from 1 bunch fresh mint, sliced

Directions

  1. Mix together cabbage, Ramen noodles and chicken in a large bowl. Hands are welcome.

  2. In a small bowl or jar, mix hoisin sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, ginger and green onions. Pour over cabbage mixture and toss well to coat all the ingredients. You can do this a few hours ahead so that the seasoned sauce will moisten the dried noodles.

  3. Just before serving sprinkle salad with peanuts and some basil, cilantro and mint. Have bowls of herbs on the table so everybody can add what they like.
