# How-To Steps:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded cabbage, rotisserie chicken, carrots, scallions, toasted almonds, crushed ramen noodles, fresh cilantro (if using), and toasted sesame seeds. Ensure even distribution of all components.
02 - In a separate small bowl or jar, whisk together vegetable oil, rice vinegar, honey, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk vigorously until fully emulsified and smooth.
03 - Pour the prepared dressing over the salad mixture. Toss thoroughly using salad servers or spoons, ensuring every ingredient is evenly coated with the sesame dressing.
04 - Serve immediately for maximum crunch and texture. Alternatively, let the salad rest for 10 minutes to allow noodles to soften slightly while absorbing flavors.
