Preparation

Step 1

Mix together cabbage, Ramen noodles and chicken in a large bowl. Hands are welcome.

In a small bowl, or jar, mix hoisin sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and green onions. Pour over cabbage mixture and toss well to coat all the ingredients. You can do this a few hours ahead so that the seasoned sauce will moisten the dried noodles.

Just before serving, sprinkle salad with peanuts and some basil, cilantro and mint. Have bowls of herbs on the table so everybody can add what they like.
