Ingredients
Salad
- 2 pounds Napa cabbage
- 2 cups sliced green onions (2 bunches)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 packages ramen noodles crumbled into pieces
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
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 pepper
Instructions
Salad
- Slice the napa cabbage into 1/4 inch slices. If the pieces are too large, you may want to roughly chop the cabbage again.
- Place the cabbage into your largest mixing bowl along with the green onions.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan.
- 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.
- Add the toasted ramen noodles and slivered almonds to salad and toss.

Dressing
- Combine the sugar, vinegar, ground ginger, dry mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce, and vegetable oil in a medium-sized bowl or a shaker bottle.
- Season with salt and pepper, and shake or whisk thoroughly. It may seem like the sugar won't dissolve, but it will.
- Once the sugar has completely dissolved, pour the dressing over the slaw and mix well.
Notes
- If you want to substitute the sugar, you can try Equal or Splenda to avoid the sugar calories.
- Since you are only using the green part of the onion, set aside the white side for another recipe.
- When mixing the dressing, try using a dressing shaker. This makes mixing the ingredients so much easier and you can store it in the container when you are done.
