Mandarin Noodle Salad Food

RAMEN SALAD

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Crumble the ramen noodles onto a baking sheet and spread them in a single layer along with the almonds. Bake for 5 minutes, remove from the oven, add the sesame seeds, and toss, then bake for 1 to 3 additional minutes until fragrant and golden. Watch closely so that the mixture does not burn. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, briskly stir together all of the dressing ingredients: rice vinegar, olive oil, honey, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. (Alternatively, you can shake them together in a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid.)
• In a serving bowl, toss together the coleslaw, edamame, carrots, scallions, and toasted ramen and almonds. Drizzle the dressing over the top, then toss again to combine. Sprinkle the oranges over the top, then refrigerate until ready to serve.

MANDARIN NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the linguine according to pkg directions. Drain linguine and transfer to an extra large mixing bowl.
• In a jar with a screw top lid, combine soy sauce, water, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, ginger and I also added a pinch or two of crushed red chili pods. Cover and shake well.
• Pour over hot linguine; toss gently to coat. Cool.
• Add the tomato, carrot, pea pods and green onions to linguine mixture; toss gently to combine. Cover and chill for 2 to 24 hours.
• Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour before serving.
• Add sesame seeds. Toss gently before serving.

CRISPY SALMON WITH TURNIP, MANDARIN & NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the noodles following pack instructions, then drain and tip into a bowl. Meanwhile, heat the grill. Mix together 1 tsp sesame oil with 1 tsp ginger syrup and brush over the salmon fillets. Sprinkle on the sesame seeds to stick, then grill for 5-8 mins until just cooked through.
• Whisk together the remaining sesame oil and ginger syrup with the mandarin juice and white wine vinegar. Toss this dressing through the noodles to coat, then season.
• Scatter over the chopped ginger, spring onions, turnips, cabbage and mandarin slices, and toss once more to combine. Divide between two plates and top with the salmon to serve.

• Crush ramen noodles in the packages. Pour into salad dressing.
• In a salad bowl, toss romaine lettuce with oranges, almonds, and salad dressing.

ASIAN NOODLE SALAD WITH CASHEWS

Steps:

• Mix together salad ingredients. I don't usually measure, I just keep add as much as I want of each ingredient until it looks like the picture.
• Put dressing ingredients in a jar. Shake well and pour over salad. You can also add jalapenos to the dressing if you like it spicy.
• Mix with tongs or hands and serve in a large pasta bowl. I always use my hands to mix this. It's so much easier.
• As a side salad it probably serves more like 8 - 10. But if this is all you're eating then it will serve 4 - 6.

• Toast sesame seeds and almonds in small skillet. I don't toast them together.
• Drain mandrian oranges.
• Prepare dressing.
• Mix everything right before serving.
