Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Crush the ramen noodles into small pieces and discard the seasoning packets.
Toast the crushed ramen noodles, slivered almonds, and sesame seeds in the dry skillet for about 3-5 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Remove from heat and let cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, purple cabbage, carrots, green onions, and chopped cilantro.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, granulated sugar, minced garlic, ground ginger, vegetable oil, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well to combine and evenly coat the ingredients.
Add the toasted ramen noodle mixture to the salad just before serving to keep it crunchy. Gently toss again to distribute the toppings.
Serve the salad immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for up to one hour to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
