Ingredients

Asian Vinaigrette:

  • 1/3 cup toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 1/4 tablespoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped

Salad:

  • 8 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti, broken in thirds
  • 1 cup sesame seeds, toasted
  • 4 medium avocados, diced
  • 1 large carrot, coarsely grated
  • 1 pound green cabbage, cut into strips
  • A bit under 1 lb. chicken breasts, boneless & skinless (cut into thin cutlets)

Instructions

  • Cook pasta as per package instructions undercooking by a few minutes (al dente). While pasta is cooking, in a medium bowl, whisk Asian Vinaigrette ingredients and set aside.
  • Preheat large cast-iron or ceramic non-stick skillet on medium heat and swirl a few tablespoons of Asian Vinaigrette to coat. Add cooked and drained spaghetti; cook for about 20 minutes or until majority is brown and crispy (70-80% is good enough), stirring occasionally. While doing so, get other ingredients ready: chop cabbage, dice avocado and grate carrots.
  • Transfer crispy noodles to a large salad bowl. Toast sesame seeds if necessary and add to the bowl.
  • Return skillet to a medium heat and swirl another tbsp of Asian Vinaigrette to coat. Add chicken and cook for 7 minutes per side or until browned. Transfer to a cutting board and slice. Add to the salad bowl.
  • Add cabbage to a skillet and quickly pan fry for a few minutes, stirring constantly, so it gets coated in chicken juices and softens a bit. Transfer to a bowl. Pour remaining dressing on top and stir to mix.

Notes

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS: Refrigerate salad and dressing separately for up to 2 days. This crispy ramen noodle salad is the most crispy within the first 2 hours of dressing. I suggest to dress it up right before serving. I tried salad 4 hours after it was mixed and it was delicious, noodles less crispy but still chewy. Yum!

  2. The interactive chat feature on Bongacams really enhances the overall experience for me. It’s great to be able to communicate with performers in real-time and feel a genuine connection. The chat adds a personal touch that makes each session more engaging and enjoyable. It’s one of my favorite aspects of the site, and it keeps me coming back for more.
