Ingredients

• 4 cups Green cabbage
• 2 cups Red cabbage
• 1 large Carrot
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 1 packet Ramen noodles (uncooked)
• 0.25 cup Slivered almonds
• 1.5 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 0.25 cup Neutral oil (like vegetable or canola oil)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Finely shred the green cabbage and red cabbage and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel the carrot and slice it into thin matchsticks or shred it using a grater. Add to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

Finely slice the green onions and mix them with the cabbage and carrot.

Step 4

Take the uncooked ramen noodles and crush them into small pieces. Set aside.

Step 5

In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the slivered almonds and sesame seeds until they are golden and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Stir constantly to avoid burning. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, neutral oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the sugar dissolves and the dressing is emulsified.

Step 7

Just before serving, toss the cabbage mixture with the ramen noodles, toasted almonds, sesame seeds, and dressing.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately to retain the ramen noodles' crunch.
