Cook chicken using your preferred method (either in a pan with some oil, or by poaching). Once chicken is cool enough to touch, chop it into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

While chicken is cooking, cut your cabbage into quarters, cut out the white core, and slice into bite-sized strips. Mix with the cooled chicken.

Leaving the ramen inside the packaging, crush noodles until they are fine pieces. Remove seasoning packets, and pour uncooked noodles in with the chicken and cabbage. Mix all salad ingredients well.

To prepare sauce, combine soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, pepper, oil, and the seasoning packets in a bowl, and pour over salad.

Mix thoroughly once more, and refrigerate over night for best results. The next day, the cabbage and noodles will be softened, and the salad will be very flavorful.
