How to Make Chinese Sesame Salad
- Shred the cabbage and thinly slice the red onion. Combine in a large bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- In a medium skillet, toast the slivered almonds and sesame seeds in the butter over medium heat until lightly browned and fragrant. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Set aside to cool.
- If using dry noodles, cook according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside to cool.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the rice vinegar, sesame oil, granulated sugar, and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Remove the dressing from the heat and let it cool completely. This allows the flavors to develop and prevents wilting the salad.
- Just before serving, gently combine the chilled cabbage mixture, toasted almonds and sesame seeds, and cooked noodles in a large bowl.
- Pour the cooled dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately and enjoy!
