- Remove 8 outer leaves from cabbage and reserve. Cut out core and finely shred remaining leaves; you should have about 4 c.. Set aside.
- Bring large saucepan three-fourths full of water to a boil. Add in noodles and cook, about 4 min, till tender. Drain and rinse under cool running water. Drain again and cut into 2 inch lengths.
- In large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, chicken, cucumbers, carrots, green onions, noodles and soy sauce mix. Let stand 20 min to allow the flavors to blend.
- Line serving bowl with reserved cabbage leaves. Mound salad in center. Serve immediately.
- Description: "If "chicken salad" reminds you of boring celery and tons of may, think again. This salad is a low-fat version which's bursting with spicy flavors from the Orient. In a hurry Use leftover chicken and bagged shredded carrots."
- NOTES : This was very good! I think next time I'll add in some snow peas to it too.
- As John says, "Light but filling!"
