Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 head napa cabbage
1 bunch minced green onions
⅓ cup butter
1 (3 ounce) package ramen noodles, broken
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 cup slivered almonds
¼ cup cider vinegar
¾ cup vegetable oil
½ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • Finely shred the head of cabbage; do not chop. Combine the green onions and cabbage in a large bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Make the crunchies: Melt the butter in a pot. Mix the ramen noodles, sesame seeds and almonds into the pot with the melted butter. Spoon the mixture onto a baking sheet and bake the crunchies in the preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven, turning often to make sure they do not burn. When they are browned remove them from the oven.
  • Make the dressing: In a small saucepan, heat vinegar, oil, sugar, and soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, let boil for 1 minute. Remove the pan from heat and let cool.
  • Combine dressing, crunchies, and cabbage immediately before serving. Serve right away or the crunchies will get soggy.

  • Shred the cabbage thinly: Thinly shredded cabbage will help the dressing to evenly coat the leaves and make the salad more enjoyable to eat.
  • Use a variety of toppings: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Some good options include shredded carrots, chopped cucumber, sliced radishes, and chopped green onions.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served chilled. You can chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving, or you can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
