Crispy Noodle Salad With Sweet And Sour Dressing Recipes

CHANG'S CRISPY NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• Toast almonds: Lightly toast the slivered almonds in a small skillet over medium heat until lightly browned (no oil). Remove immediately and let cool.
• Dressing: Shake Dressing ingredients in a jar until sugar is dissolved. (This keeps for 3 weeks!)
• Shred cabbage: Cut cabbage (see photos in post, helpful): cut 1 slit down the middle lengthwise (or 2, if it's giant like the one I used). Then finely slice so it's shredded. Just use the top 1/2 - 2/3, mostly leafy part. Reserve the thick crunchy white part for another use (excellent in stir fries!).
• Toss everything except crispy noodles: Place cabbage in a big bowl with toasted almonds and green onions. Pour over Dressing, toss well.
• Add crispy noodles! Toss through noodles just before serving so they stay crisp!

CRISPY NOODLE SALAD WITH SWEET AND SOUR DRESSING

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine greens, bean sprouts, carrot, radishes, scallions, red bell pepper and half of the fried noodles.
• Whisk together plum or duck sauce and vinegar in a smaller bowl. Stream in oil and continue whisking to combine.
• Dress salad and toss with salt and pepper, to your taste. Serve salad with remaining crispy noodles, as garnish.

SWEET AND SOUR DRESSING

Steps:

• In a blender or salad dressing shaker, combine oil, sugar, vinegar, onion, salt, mustard, and celery seed. Blend or shake until emulsified.

CHANG'S CRISPY NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• Cut the cabbage in half, remove the thick white core section from the centre of each half. To do this, lay cabbage flat side down on the board and cut a "v" in the centre. Turn it over and ease the core out.
• Using a large, sharp knife, cut the cabbage into very fine shreds, working from one end. Regular cabbage tends to have tighter leaves so its best to shred it into once piece. Hold the cabbage firmly with one hand and shave down one side.
• Combine the sliced cabbage, chopped green onions and almonds in a salad bowl.
• Add dressing to taste, and mix well. Add Original Fried Noodles to the salad just before serving.
