Description

This is the one of the most popular salads I make! I usually have to make a double batch. Great in the summer season with anything grilled.

Ingredients

  • 1 head Large Nappa Cabbage
  • 2 packages (3 Oz. Packet) Ramen Noodles
  • ½ cups Sesame Seeds
  • 1 package (6 0z. Package) Slivered Almonds
  • 1 stick Butter
  • 1 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 4 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • ½ cups Cider Vinegar
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Pepper

Preparation

1. Melt butter in a pan.
2. Crunch up ramen noodles in package, crunch into tiny bits.
3. Add the crunched up noodles, sesame seeds and almonds to the butter. Toss around until noodles and almonds are starting to brown, about 5-10 minutes. Set aside and let cool.
4. Rinse cabbage under cold water well, let drain and dry with paper towels. Cut cabbage in thin slices all the way through.
5. Rinse and dice green onion, toss with sliced cabbage in a bowl.

For the dressing:

Mix oil, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and pepper well. If you have a salad dressing shaker, use it to shake up the dressing, or a mason jar works well also.

6. Assemble salad just before you eat. Add browned seeds and noodles to salad, toss with dressing. This salad does not store well. If you are going to bring it to a picnic or party, I would advise assembling it when you get there.

I got this recipe also and I LOVE it!!! I just made a variation of it today to take to a party. (It was requested by my nephew.) The store didn’t have nappa cabbage so I bought 2 bags of romaine salad mix. I only had 2 ramen packages, so I doubled the slivered almonds. Lastly, I substituted splenda for the sugar. No complaints and hardly any leftovers. It gets really soggy but still tastes good if it sits. Thanks for posting it!

We LOVE this salad! I only use half of the dressing, however…it seems like it’s a little much. YUM!

This salad always is a hit. It is easy to make a flexible too. (See my variations under comments.) Once you bring this to a pot luck or a party, it will be requested in the future.
