Ingredients
- 3 ounce package ramen noodles chicken or oriental flavor
- 2/3 cup blanched slivered almonds
- 3 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup peanut oil or canola oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar or honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 8 cups chopped Napa cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrot
- 1 cup chopped snow peas
- 1 cup chopped scallions
Instructions
- Set a medium skillet over medium heat. Place the butter in the skillet and allow it to melt. Meanwhile, open the ramen package and crush the dried ramen noodles into small bite-size chunks. Remove the seasoning packet and save for later.
- Once the butter is melted, add the ramen pieces to the skillet and stir to coat the pieces in butter. Stir the ramen for one minute, then add the blanched almonds to the skillet. Continue to stir and sauté the ramen and almonds for another 1-2 minutes until golden. Then sprinkle the seasoning packet over the top and stir again coat. Turn off the heat and allow the crispy ramen to cool in the pan.
- Set out a small bowl for the Asian vinaigrette. In the bowl combine the peanut oil, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar, and soy sauce. Whisk the vinaigrette until smooth. Then if needed, microwave for 30 seconds to melt the sugar crystals into the dressing. Whisk again until smooth. *If using honey, you will not need to heat the dressing.
- Set out a large salad bowl. Chop the Napa cabbage. Shred the carrots. Then chop the snow peas and scallions. Pile the fresh produce into the salad bowl.
- Cover the salad and refrigerate until ready to serve. Keep the chopped produce, vinaigrette, and crispy ramen topping separate until ready to serve.
- Right before serving, sprinkle the ramen topping over the salad. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss well to coat. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Once everything is put together, the salad should be enjoyed within a few hours. But the individual containers of components will keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
