Directions

Step 1

In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the slivered almonds and sesame seeds for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant. Remove them from the heat and set aside to cool.

Add the crushed instant ramen noodles (do not cook them) to the bowl for an extra crunch.

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper until the sugar is dissolved and the dressing is well combined.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss everything together until evenly coated.

Add the toasted almonds and sesame seeds to the salad and gently mix them in.

Step 7

Let the salad rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
