Ingredients
- 1 head Napa cabbage
- 4 stalks Green onions (scallions)
- 0.5 cups Slivered almonds
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 packet Instant ramen noodles (uncooked, discard seasoning packet)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups Sugar
- 0.25 cups Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Thinly slice the Napa cabbage into shreds and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Chop the green onions into thin rounds and add them to the cabbage.
Step 3
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the slivered almonds and sesame seeds until golden and fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Set aside to cool.
Step 4
Crumble the uncooked ramen noodles into small pieces.
Step 5
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the crumbled ramen noodles. Sauté until the noodles are golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and vegetable oil until the sugar is fully dissolved, creating the dressing.
Step 7
Before serving, combine the toasted almonds, sesame seeds, and sautéed ramen noodles with the cabbage mixture.
Step 8
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss thoroughly to coat everything evenly.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy the crisp, flavorful salad!
