Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Green cabbage
- 2 cups Red cabbage
- 1 large Carrot
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 1 packet Ramen noodles (uncooked)
- 0.25 cup Slivered almonds
- 1.5 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 0.25 cup Neutral oil (like vegetable or canola oil)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Finely shred the green cabbage and red cabbage and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the carrot and slice it into thin matchsticks or shred it using a grater. Add to the bowl with the cabbage.
Finely slice the green onions and mix them with the cabbage and carrot.
Take the uncooked ramen noodles and crush them into small pieces. Set aside.
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the slivered almonds and sesame seeds until they are golden and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Stir constantly to avoid burning. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, neutral oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the sugar dissolves and the dressing is emulsified.
Just before serving, toss the cabbage mixture with the ramen noodles, toasted almonds, sesame seeds, and dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately to retain the ramen noodles' crunch.
