Instructions
Toast the ramen noodles: Crush the uncooked ramen noodles into small pieces. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and toast the noodles for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine green cabbage, purple cabbage, grated carrot, green onions, and red bell pepper.
Add the roasted peanuts and sesame seeds to the vegetable mixture. Stir to combine.
In a small bowl or jar, prepare the dressing by whisking together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper until fully emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss well to coat all ingredients evenly.
Right before serving, add the toasted ramen noodles to the salad and gently toss to maintain their crunchiness.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed. Serve immediately and enjoy!
