  • Break up Ramen noodles into pieces and place on baking sheet. Sprinkle seasoning salt over noodles and broil for about 1 minute (keep a close eye on them so they don't burn).

  • Toss salad mixture again then top with noodles immediately before serving (if you do it earlier the noodles will get soggy).

Notes

Additions/Substitutions:
  • Protein - Use pork, steak, salmon, or shrimp instead of chicken if you prefer another type of meat or use tofu for more of a vegetarian-style ramen noodle salad.
  • Asian ramen salad - Replace the cabbage with coleslaw mix or broccoli slaw for an Asian salad. This will speed up the process and help you mix it together, even more, quicker if you are in a hurry.
  • Flavors - Try other liquids like sesame oil, soy sauce, or rice vinegar to make more types of delicious instant ramen noodles flavors.
  • Add-ins - Mandarin oranges, red bell pepper, green bell peppers, water chestnuts, garlic, ginger, and red cabbage are all favorite ingredients to add.
