Re: Safeway Spicy Thai Chicken Salad Recipe

The hero of this Chinese Chicken Salad is the Asian Dressing and crunchy noodles. It can make any bowl of fresh greens devilishly moreish! Made with cabbage, carrots, green onions and chicken, finished with sesame seeds, this is terrific for packed lunches as it keeps well for days!
Love reciepe. I just added a few items to help use up some food in house. Water chestnuts, frozen peas, and I toasted almonds in butter adding salt till it brought the sweetness out. I also added mandrine oranges that is such a great add.
I love your recipes I have made this slaw cold and as a hot dish with ramen noodles and broccoli,sliced colored peppers,water chestnuts,in addition to the slaw ingredients.Ponzu sauce or housing works,or even peanut tsang.Yummy girl anyway you have it ,it disappears!!
I use Rice Noodles and drop them in oil until in they puff up. This is much better than La Choy canned noodles. This is a fan favorite. You can also substitute shredded iceberg lettuce for cabbage
My friends loved this salad. It was the perfect light meal before our decadent dessert! Family consumed the leftovers the next day, which I think tasted better since the flavors had time to meld.
Begin by whisking together the sauce of the Thai Noodle Salad. Combine soy sauce, peanut butter, sesame oil, sweet chili sauce, rice wine vinegar, hot chili oil, minced fresh garlic and the juice from one lime.
If you live in a small town like me, you might not be able to find authentic asian noodles but that's ok! Regular old spaghetti or linguine (like the one I used from Delallo Foods) will work just fine!
Once you have the salty water boiling, cook your pasta according to the directions on the box. When it's al dente, strain the noodles. Then run cold water over them so they stop cooking.
Made it for the first time. So yummy I had a bowl immediately.
I used millet and brown rice ramen from Lotus Foods.
Makes a huge bowl so lots of leftovers.
A new 'goto' recipe for me. So much better than store bought.
Addicting is putting it mildly. Even my (less adventurous eater) spouse loves it. Its my go-to recipe for parties and many often want the recipe. We love it room temp as a salad and warmed as a side dish. Or add chicken chicken slices to it for a terrific bowl meal. Wow! It's a winner every way you serve it.
I made these last week when my (mostly) vegetarian sister visited. They were so delicious, I made them again this week and I can't wait to eat them all myself! I didn't have another lime, but I think the next time I make these I might 1.5x the sauce because it's SO GOOD!
This vegan Thai Noodle Salad is great made-ahead salad, and keeps well for 3-4 days in the fridge -perfect for midweek meals and lunches, or potlucks and gatherings. Top this with flavorful Sesame Ginger Tofu or baked chicken for added protein if you prefer. So delicious!
A simple delicious recipe for Thai Noodle Salad with Peanut Sauce, loaded up with healthy veggies. Vegan and Gluten free, this make-ahead salad is perfect for midweek lunches or large gatherings. Add Sesame Ginger Tofu for added protein! Watch the video.
Noodles: If cooking pad thai style rice noodles, add the noodles to a pot of boiling water. Turn heat off, stir and let steep 2-3 minutes until tender, drain and run under cool water. Alternatively, pour boiling water over the noodles in a baking dish, let soak until softened, drain.
I have made this recipe twice now the second time I also made the Sesame Ginger Tofu to make it a complete meal.
This recipe is so delicious my whole family loved it. I will be making it often we love it so much.
Thank you so much for the recipe
This is so good! My husband and I both loved it. The dressing is so lush!
I only found your blog a few days again when I baked your fab sourdough bread recipe, then realised you also have lots of vegan friendly recipes, YAY!
When it comes to Thai barbecue, there is no dish more iconic than gai yang. This is one of the most popular street foods in Thailand. Here in Canada, it's become my go-to chicken recipe for summer BBQ because it's easy, can be made in advance, and is a guaranteed success for any crowd. The marinade is awesome, but the nam jim jeaw dipping sauce will take it to the next level.
All my recipes come with step-by-step video tutorials with extra tips not mentioned in the blog post, so make sure you watch the video below to ensure success - and if you enjoy the show, please consider subscribing to my YouTube channel. Thank you!
Gai yang literally means, "grilled chicken." So by definition it can be any kind of chicken on the grill. And while indeed there are different types of Thai grilled chicken, such as this one smothered in coconut milk and curry paste, when you say "gai yang" in Thailand, this classic version is the one people think of.
The marinade is a standard combination of basic Thai pantry staples, but the flavour it delivers is pretty unreal. The umami of fish sauce, soy sauce, and subtle infusion of lemongrass and coriander seeds...creates one of the most popular dishes in Thai cuisine.
Tip: You can vary the herbs a bit. Some people skip the coriander seeds, others skip the lemongrass, some add coriander roots (cilantro roots). But do keep the garlic, pepper, and the ratio of all the soy sauce, fish sauce and sugar the same.
In Thailand, gai yang is usually made with whole chickens, but Thai chickens are also much smaller so it's much easier to grill and manage in general. Here, I like to grill them in parts, but I buy different parts that would almost make up a whole chicken, minus the wings!
Nam jim jeaw is a tart, spicy dipping sauce that goes with all of our barbecue meats. The sharp flavours cut the richness of grilled meats. If you are serving kids, or someone who doesn't eat spicy, you can also serve it with Thai sweet chili sauce, also known as nam jim gai which literally means dipping sauce for chicken!
Just did the BBQ Chicken for lunch today. The ultimate smell of the chicken - when I put it on grill - remembered me being in Thailand enjoying the street food. It was very tasty, crispy and juicy.
The dipping sauce is divine. Sabai arrived finally and I'm studying it. Great book, congrats.
I used this recipe on a whole spatchcocked chicken and grilled over charcoal. It turned out fantastic. I held back on the water addition to the marinade and added extra lemongrass to make it chunkier. This made it much easier to massage into the meat and tuck up under the skin. Served with the dipping sauce, sticky rice, lettuce and herbs, and a cold Chang over ice. Flavor wise I was transported back to Udon Thani. Thanks Pai for the excellent recipe!
I have to leave a follow-up review to say that this has become my standard marinade for pork ribs. I can dress them with a BBQ sauce at the end, but the favor of the meat after the marinade is outstanding. Also, the first time I made it I used a Chinese dark soy sauce which turned out too salty. If you use a Chinese brand I suggest cutting back on the other soy sauce. Once I bought the Thai brand the flavor balance is perfect.
Hi Tobias! So sorry I missed this! The Indian tamarind is much more concentrated so if you were to use it you would have to dilute it by a lot...and I'm not sure how much. So I'd try to look for Thai/Vietnamese tamarind if possible.
I've made this recipe several times now and we ALL love it!! It's so incredibly tasty. I've also deboned an entire chicken and cut into pieces and then marinade to use for stir fry. Served with white jasmine rice. I've also cooked the chicken pieces in an air fryer. Let me tell you, ALL methods result in a very, very tasty dish. But, the crowning jewel is the Nam Jim Jeaw. The dipping sauce. OMGosh!!!!! So good. Last time I made a quadruple batch and bottled it in my fridge, just to have on hand. Truly, delish. Try this one. I can't imagine that you'll be disappointed!
A few years back when I was pregnant with my daughter, I had food cravings like most pregnant woman do. One of my cravings was for Willow Tree chicken salad. Almost every day for lunch, I went to a little sandwich shop about a block away from my office, and I would get the exact same thing to eat: a Willow Tree chicken salad sandwich (and this sandwich shop specifically stated it was Willow Tree for good reason!) on sourdough bread, milk, and a piece of fruit.
Willow Tree Farm is a New England-area food company and poultry farm based out of Attleboro, Massachusetts, famous for their deli chicken salad and chicken pot pies. According to the Willow Tree website, they credit their chicken salad as one of the reasons the company has flourished over the years, and their products are also sold at grocery chains all along the East Coast of the United States.

Thank you for this recipe. I saw it on Pinterest and made it tonight for dinner with some chicken noodle soup. The chicken salad us delish! I used 2 cans of chicken breast in water and it worked great.
Thank you Steve, you are an awesome sport! I am a Rhode Island native and yes, I have put it on ice to DRIVE home to KY with it so I have a taste of home in the place I call home now. I have been in KY for 10 years now, and when I go home Willow Tree Chicken Salad is one of the top things on my list of things to have before I come home!!!
