• Add some protein to this dish by stirring in 1 1/2 cups of shredded roasted chicken, tofu, or tempeh when you add the vinegar. This is a delicious addition and can turn a side dish into an entire meal.
• rebecca's notes
• You may be wondering how to take on cabbage, the bocce ball of vegetables. Place the cabbage on a cutting board with the stem side down. Using a sharp chef's knife, cut the cabbage in half from top to bottom. Use the tip of your knife to remove the core. To shred cabbage by hand, hold the cabbage on the cutting board at an angle and give it a shave by making a thin slice down the flat (cut) side of the cabbage.
• storage
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days.

• Make the crunchies: Melt the butter in a pot. Mix the ramen noodles, sesame seeds and almonds into the pot with the melted butter. Spoon the mixture onto a baking sheet and bake the crunchies in the preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven, turning often to make sure they do not burn. When they are browned remove them from the oven.

• Combine dressing, crunchies, and cabbage immediately before serving. Serve right away or the crunchies will get soggy.
