Subj: Sumi Salad                     Conf: (37) Home Cooki
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a great recipe for a chinese salad called Sumi Salad.  A friend of mine

turned me on to it and I'm hooked.  It's a great salad for a barbeque or

potluck.

Sumi Salad
----------

You'll need the following:

1/4    cup sliced almonds
1/4    cup sesame seeds
2 tbsp sesame oil
1      head shredded cabbage
6-8    sliced green onions
4      baked boneless/skinless chicken breasts
2 pkg  Top Ramen (Chicken or Chicken Sesame flavored)

Dressing:

1/4    cup sugar
3/4    cup vegetable oil
6 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp  salt
1 tsp  pepper
2      season packets from Top Ramen (see above)

----------

Bake the chicken breasts on a cookie sheet for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees.

If you choose to season the chicken, do so lightly as the salad itself is quite

flavorful.  Let chicken cool a bit and cut into small strips.

Brown the almonds and sesame seeds in 2 tbsp sesame oil.  While those are

browning, combine cabbage, onions, chicken, and Top Ramen noodles (crumble them

up) in a large salad bowl.  Combine ingredients for dressing in a small bowl

and stir well.  Pour dressing over salad mixture and add browned almonds and

seeds.  Toss thoroughly and refrigerate for several hours before serving.

I hope you all enjoy it as much as my husband and I do.  It's a quick and easy

dish, so give it a try.  Let me know what you think!
