Chinese Chicken Noodle Salad

"If you love pasta salads that contain crisp veggies you'll love this. The dressing is really delicious. The flavors get better after 2 or 3 days in the fridge. I got this great recipe from a friend."

  1. This is a great salad - we love it!!Living in the desert Southwest, we have many days with 100+ degree weather - consequently, we eat a lot of cold salads! This one is different from the ones I typically make every summer, so that was a big hit with the family. I have stolen an idea from a friend and instead of going through the boil, cool, skin, and bone method when a recipe calls for chicken, I have been buying the rotisserie chickens at the store - I buy several at a time, skin and bone them, then bag and freeze. Then when I need chicken, I pull out a bag and let it thaw!! Makes life so much easier and no one would ever guess! Stay cool!!
     
  2. I used this recipe as an insparation really. I used soba noodles and the leftover veggies in my fridge drawer including green beans. It was VERY easy and VERY yummy!
     
  3. This was really good! As always, I couldn't leave well enough alone and changed things up a bit. I left out the sesame seeds because I didn't have any. Also, my bottled teriyaki sauce was too bitter for me (I used Kikkoman) so added about a tablespoon of honey, a good drizzle of soy sauce and a wee bit of sambal for heat. It's a good recipes for summer when I don't want to heat up the kitchen much. Thanks!
     
  4. This is very good, we loved it. Made as written but didn't have chili oil so I subbed a big healthy tablespoon of chili paste with garlic (sambal oelek) into the dressing. Yum! I will make this again.
     
  5. Wow, what an easy but flavor-packed dish! Because I was in a hurry, I didn't make the dressing. Instead, I used Newman's Own low-fat sesame ginger salad dressing (about 3/4 cup). used the dressing as a marinade for my chicken before grilling it. Also, per another rater's suggestion, I added julienne carrots and next time will try adding some thawed edamame. Thanks for a terrific recipe!

Tweaks

  1. I added bean sprouts.
     
  2. This is a very quick and easy recipe to prepare, ingredients easy enough to come by and ingredients can be played with to suit your taste. I followed the recipe exactly except I substituted 16 oz whole wheat orzo for the spaghetti. We have peas in the garden to use, so I tried this recipe for lunch and I would definitely make this again. It makes a big batch for left overs for busy days ahead.
