Ingredients

• 2 packs Instant ramen noodles
• 2 cups Green cabbage
• 1 cup Red cabbage
• 1 cup Carrots
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 1 cup Unsalted sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cups Sliced almonds
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Break the ramen noodles into small pieces and discard the seasoning packets (or save them for another use).

Step 2

Heat a large, dry skillet over medium heat and add the broken ramen noodles. Toast them, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes until they are golden brown and crisp. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

Step 3

In a large salad bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, grated carrots, and chopped green onions.

Step 4

Add the toasted ramen noodles, sunflower seeds, and sliced almonds to the salad bowl with the vegetables.

Step 5

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well coated.

Step 7

Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours for a cooler, more refreshing dish.
