In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded Napa cabbage and green onions. Set aside.
In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the crumbled ramen noodles (discard the seasoning packet), slivered almonds, and sesame seeds.
Toast the mixture for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl or a jar with a lid, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, vegetable oil, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir or shake well until the sugar dissolves and the dressing is emulsified.
Just before serving, add the toasted ramen mixture to the cabbage and green onions.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Serve immediately to maintain the crunch of the toasted toppings. Enjoy!
