CABBAGE SALAD SUPREME (USES TOP RAMEN NOODLES)

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in order given.
• Add dressing just before serving. (However I have added the dressing earlier in the day, stored in the refrigerator. The noodles aren't quite as crunchy but still good, just stir to mix well before serving).

RAMEN NOODLE & CABBAGE SALAD

Steps:

• Mix cabbage and green onions in a large bowl. Use a large sealed container (like Tupperware) if you plan to take the dish to another site to serve. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350°F Place sliced almonds on an ungreased cookie sheet and toast until dark (but not burnt); this will take approximately 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Open the ramen noodle packets and set the flavor packets to the side. You will use these in the following step. Empty ramen noodles into a gallon-sized baggie and crush; add toasted almonds. Close and set aside.
• Empty the three flavor packets, oil, water, vinegar and sugar into a jar or other lidded container and shake to mix well. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste. Close jar securely.
• You end with three packages: one cabbage mix pack, one dry ingredient, and one jar of vinaigrette. Just before serving, add the oil to the cabbage mixture and toss well. Add the dry ingredients to this and toss well.
• Please note that "Oriental" flavor ramen usually has beef broth; if this is the case, the dish will not be vegetarian.
• I highly recommend toasting the almonds to a dark brown color. Just watch closely! I have had even more enthusiastic responses to the salad when the almonds are darker, which gives them a richer, more distinctive flavor that marries well with the rest of the dish.

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, sugar, wine vinegar, and soy sauce until the sugar has dissolved. Refrigerate the dressing while preparing the salad.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Spread the broken ramen noodles, almonds, and sesame seeds onto a baking sheet.
• Bake the ramen noodle mixture until lightly browned, about 15 minutes, stirring often. Watch carefully to prevent burning. Allow mixture to cool.
• Just before serving, mix together the napa cabbage and green onions with toasted ramen mixture in a salad bowl until thoroughly combined; toss with the dressing.
