List of Ingredients




1 head cabbage, thinly sliced
4 3-4 ounce packages dried Ramen noodles, seasoning removed, broken into bite-sized pieces
2 cups or so diced cooked chicken
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon sambal chili paste
2 pinches sugar
1 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and grated
6 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup peanuts, toasted
Leaves from 1 bunch fresh basil, sliced
Leaves from 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, sliced
Leaves from 1 bunch fresh mint, sliced

Recipe



1. Mix together the cabbage, Ramen noodles, and diced chicken in a large bowl. Hands are welcome.
2. In a small bowl or jar, mix the hoisin sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, sambal chili, sugar, ginger, and green onions. Pour over the cabbage mixture and toss really 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 the salad with the peanuts and some of the basil, cilantro, and mint. Have bowls of the herbs on the table so everybody can add what they like.
