Ingredients
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 3-ounce package ramen noodles, seasoning packet removed
– ½ cup slivered almonds
– 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
– 1 ½ lbs Napa cabbage, about 8-10 cups shredded
– 1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced, about ½ cup
– ½ cup light-flavored olive oil
– ¼ cup plain white vinegar
– ½ cup white sugar
– 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
Instructions
1-Combine the dressing: Begin by combining the oil, vinegar, sugar, and soy sauce in a jar and shaking it until the sugar fully dissolves this creates a tangy base that ties everything together.
2-Melt butter and prepare noodles: Next, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, crush the ramen noodles while they’re still in the package, and remove the seasoning packet before adding them to the skillet.
3-Cook noodle mixture: Add the crushed noodles, slivered almonds, and sesame seeds to the melted butter, then sauté while stirring frequently until the mixture turns golden brown. Let it cool on a plate while you shred the Napa cabbage and mix it with the sliced green onions in a large bowl.
4-Assemble the salad: Finally, add the cooled noodle mixture to the bowl, pour the dressing over everything, and toss well to combine before serving, perhaps with extra green onions on top.
