Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head wombok (Chinese cabbage)
- 1 medium carrot
- 3 pieces spring onions (green onions)
- 0.5 cup slivered almonds
- 0.25 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 packet instant noodles (uncooked, no seasoning packet)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the wombok and finely shred the rest of the cabbage. Place in a large salad bowl.
Peel and grate the carrot. Add it to the bowl with the cabbage.
Thinly slice the spring onions and mix them into the salad.
In a dry skillet over medium heat, lightly toast the slivered almonds and sunflower seeds until golden and fragrant. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Remove from heat and let cool.
Crumble the uncooked instant noodles into small pieces and set aside.
In a small bowl or jar, combine sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk or shake until well combined to make the dressing.
Just before serving, add the crumbled noodles, toasted almonds, and sunflower seeds to the salad bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss thoroughly to combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh crunch and tangy flavors of the Wombok Salad!
