Asian Slaw

Asian Slaw features crunchy Napa cabbage and green onions tossed with toasted ramen noodles and slivered almonds, dressed in a tangy, sweet, and slightly spicy dressing. The combination results in a refreshing salad with firm texture contrasts. The dressing balances sugar, red wine vinegar, ginger, mustard powder, and Worcestershire sauce with oil, creating a vibrant complement to the crisp vegetables and nuts.

Ingredients

Salad
  • 2 pounds Napa cabbage
  • 2 cups green onion 2 bunches, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 packages ramen noodles crumbled into pieces
  • 1/2 cup almonds slivered
Dressing
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Salad
    Cup of Yum
  1. Slice the napa cabbage into 1/4 inch slices. If the pieces are too large, you may want to roughly chop the cabbage again.
  2. Place the cabbage into your largest mixing bowl along with the green onions.
  3. Melt the butter in a large saucepan.
  4. Add the ramen noodles to saucepan and cook until they are toasted but not burnt. Watch them closely, as it only takes a few seconds for the noodles to burn after they are toasted.
  5. Add the toasted ramen noodles and slivered almonds to salad and toss.
Dressing
  1. Combine the sugar, vinegar, ground ginger, dry mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce, and vegetable oil in a medium-sized bowl or a shaker bottle.
  2. Season with salt and pepper, and shake or whisk thoroughly. It may seem like the sugar won't dissolve, but it will.
  3. Once the sugar has completely dissolved, pour the dressing over the slaw and mix well.

Notes

  • Substitute sugar with artificial sweeteners like Equal or Splenda to reduce sugar intake.
  • Use only the green parts of the onions for the salad; save the white parts for other recipes.
  • A dressing shaker can make mixing ingredients easier and act as a storage container.
