Why Everyone’s Addicted To The Chinese Chicken Salad
Invented by Sylvia Cheng Wu also known as Madame Wu in the 60s and made popular by the original celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck, The Chinese chicken salad has become an obsession in California, especially with celebrities. It's not hard to see why. It's refreshing, it's light, it has incredible texture and crunch, and an Asian-inspired dressing that has all those addicting umami flavors that you could eat with a spoon. But you don’t have to travel to California to taste it, we’re making my version today, so let's just jump right into it.

MAGGI Crunchy Noodle Salad
Crunchy Noodle Salad! I love making this with Maggi noodles rather than store bought because you can make the noodle chunks as large as you want and the added bonus is that you can use some of the sprinkling as the seasoning. SO GOOD! Recipe:
INGREDIENTS
Asian Sesame Dressing:
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp white vinegar
2 - 3 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp sugar
Salad:
2 packets Maggi Chicken Noodles (I used wholewheat)
Oil spray
Salad:
2 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
2 cups purple cabbage, finely shredded
2 carrots, grated or julienned
Handful bean sprouts
2 green onions / scallions, finely sliced on the diagonal
Sesame seeds, optional
.
DIRECTIONS
1. Place Dressing in a jar and shake well.
2. Preheat oven to 160C/320F.
3. Break noodles into large chunks then place on a baking tray. Spray with oil then sprinkle lightly with the seasoning from the noodle packet (I use about ½ one packet for 2 rice cakes). Toss then bake for 8 minutes until light golden and crispy. Cool on tray.
4. Salad ingredients in a bowl, add most of the crunchy noodles. Pour over dressing then toss to coat. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds if using.
.
Note: I like adding the noodles then dressing because I like the dressing to coat the noodles well, and they are so crunchy they stay crunchy for a while even with the dressing. But the other way to do this is to dress the salad first then toss through noodles later. Up to you!

Total: 30 min
Active: 30 min
Yield: 6 servings
Level: Easy
Ingredients
Salad:
8 ounces thin spaghetti
One 8-ounce bag julienne/fine-cut carrots (about 1 1/2 cups)
One 6-ounce bag baby sweet peppers, seeded and sliced thinly into rings (about 1 cup)
One 4-ounce bag bean sprouts (about 1 cup)
3 English cucumbers, halved, seeds removed and sliced
3 scallions, sliced
Up to 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 head or more napa cabbage, sliced
1/2 head or more purple cabbage, sliced
1/2 bunch kale, leaves torn off the stalks and shredded
2 cups peanuts, chopped
Dressing:
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup oyster sauce
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 to 3 cloves garlic, chopped
Directions
For the salad: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti to al dente according to the package directions. Drain, rinse and let cool.
Mix together the cooked spaghetti, carrots, peppers, bean sprouts, cucumbers, scallions, cilantro, napa cabbage, purple cabbage and kale. Add the peanuts and toss together.
For the dressing: Whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, sesame oil and garlic in a medium bowl.
Pour the dressing over the salad and mix together with tongs or your hands. If the salad seems a little dry, just mix up a little more of the wet ingredients of the dressing and throw it in. It's a very organic process.
Transfer to a large platter and serve.
