Begin by shredding the cabbage and grating the carrot. Thinly slice the green onions and set everything aside in a large mixing bowl.
Break the uncooked Top Ramen noodles into small pieces and set aside.
Toast the sliced almonds and sunflower seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper until the sugar is dissolved and the dressing is well combined.
Add the broken ramen noodles, toasted almonds, and sunflower seeds to the cabbage mixture. Pour the dressing over the salad.
Toss everything together until well coated with the dressing.
Allow the salad to sit for 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld together and slightly soften the ramen noodles.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy. Stir the salad again before serving to redistribute the dressing and toppings.
