How to Make Asian Cabbage Salad

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Remove flavor packet from 3 oz package of ramen noodles.
  3. Break ramen noodles into small pieces inside the package.
  4. Spread 1/2 cup sliced almonds and 1/4 cup sesame seeds on a baking sheet. Add the crumbled ramen noodles. Bake for 5-8 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring halfway through.
  5. While the noodles toast, whisk together 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 chopped green onions. Add the ramen seasoning packet and whisk until dissolved.
  6. In a large bowl, combine 1/2 of the toasted ramen noodle mixture with 1/2 a medium head of Napa cabbage, shredded.
  7. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and noodle mixture and toss to combine.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining toasted ramen mixture over the top. For a heartier salad, add cooked chicken breast (about 1 cup, diced) and 1/4 cup roasted peanuts before serving.
