How to Make Sensational Salad
- Thinly slice the Chinese cabbage and red onion. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced cabbage and onion. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Break the ramen noodles into small pieces, discarding the seasoning packets.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sesame seeds, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the ramen noodles and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned (about 3-5 minutes).
- Season the noodles with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute, or until slightly thickened.
- Let the dressing cool completely.
- Just before serving, add the toasted almonds to the chilled cabbage mixture.
- Add the cooked ramen noodles to the cabbage mixture.
- Pour the cooled dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
