Equipment

Ingredients

1 package of vegan chicken tenders

Dressing

¼ cup of rice vinegar
2 ½ tablespoons of olive oil
1 Tablespoon of soy sauce
2 Tablespoons of brown sugar

Salad

1 bunch of romaine lettuce chopped
A handful of cilantro finely chopped
1 large carrot grated
¼ cup of green onions, finely chopped
2 mandarin oranges peeled and pulled in slices
1 package of instant ramen

Instructions

Bake the vegan chicken tenders based on the package directions. When they’re finished, thinly slice them lengthwise and set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together all the dressing ingredients and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, cilantro, carrot, green onion, and mandarin oranges (if using).
Crunch the unopened instant ramen packet. Make sure it’s broken into small pieces. Remove the seasoning packet and pour half of the crunchy broken-up noodles into the salad bowl.
Toss the salad and serve it in individual bowls with dressing and chopped vegan chicken tenders.

Notes

Allow the flavors to meld: I recommend 30 minutes before serving. However, only add the ramen noodles just before serving.
Adjust the dressing to taste: You can tweak each ingredient amount to fit your taste preferences.
For super crispy noodles: Break them up and then fry them in hot oil. Be careful when lowering them into the oil, as they will puff up immediately.
