Yesterday, I brought you Beef Bulgogi. I hope you made some just like mine because it was amazing. I was in food heaven for approximately thirty minutes, slowly savoring each yummy bite. Even my best friend was taking time to enjoy the food. If you saw the size of the shovel he calls a spoon, you'd understand what a rare treat that is to watch.
When I offered up a plate with Oriental Salad, he was less than impressed with the suspicious-looking side dish in front of him. I mean, let's face it, when somebody tells you there making you broccoli slaw and Ramen noodles, you might be suspicious too, right?
I actually got this recipe from his mother, but I suspect she's never made it for him judging by the aforementioned apprehension. But the first time she made it for me, I loved it!
This salad goes well with the Bulgogi as well as a number of other Asian-influenced meals I've made. Or you can do what I do, and just eats spoonfuls of salad out of the container while standing in front of the fridge, Either way, it's delicious!
Oriental Salad
1 1/2 cups broccoli, julienne sliced
2 carrots, julienne sliced
1/2 cup green onion, finely chopped
1 package of Ramen noodles, without seasoning
2 tbsp slivered almonds
2 tbsp sesame seeds
1/2 cup Teriyaki Vinaigrette
Combine all of the ingredients in a large salad bowl.
One variation I've made with this is to substitute the Italian Dressing Mix in the vinaigrette with the seasoning packet from the Ramen noodles.
