Salad Ingredients
- 1 package ramen noodles (uncooked)
- 3 cups shredded cabbage
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
Dressing
- 1/4 cup sesame dressing
Instructions
- Toast the Ramen Noodles: Crush the uncooked ramen noodles into small pieces. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat, then add the crushed noodles and toast them until they turn golden brown and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
- Prepare the Vegetables: While the noodles toast, shred the cabbage finely and slice the green onions thinly. Combine them in a large mixing bowl.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the toasted noodles to the bowl with the cabbage and green onions. Pour the sesame dressing over the mixture and toss well to coat all ingredients evenly.
- Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving dish and enjoy immediately for the best crunchiness.
Notes
- For a nutty flavor, you can lightly toast sesame seeds and sprinkle on top.
- Customize by adding shredded carrots or sliced almonds for extra texture.
- This salad is best served shortly after mixing to keep the noodles crunchy.
- Use gluten-free ramen noodles if needed to accommodate gluten sensitivities.
