Main Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 ounce ramen noodles, seasoning packet removed
  • 0.5 cup slivered almonds
  • 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1.5 pounds Napa cabbage about 8-10 cups shredded
  • 1 bunch green onions sliced thin, about 1/2 cup

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. To make the dressing: combine the oil, vinegar, sugar, and soy sauce in a jar and shake until the sugar has dissolved.
  2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. While the butter is melting, crush the ramen noodles inside the package after removing the seasoning packet. Remove the seasoning packet and discard. Add the noodles, almonds, and sesame seeds to the melted butter and sauté until golden brown.
  3. Shred the cabbage and thinly slice the green onions. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cabbage and onions. Add the sautéed noodle mixture. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Serve immediately garnished with additional green onions if desired.

Notes

This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.
