RAMEN NOODLE ORIENTAL SALAD

1 medium sized cabbage, chopped finely or shredded (I use 1 prepackaged bag of broccoli slaw and 1 prepackaged bag of cabbage slaw)

- 3 green onions, chopped

- ½ cup slivered almonds, toasted

- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional)

- ½ cup sunflower seeds (I don't add these)

- 1 package of dry Ramen noodles, broken up into little pieces

Dressing Ingredients:

- ½ cup vegetable oil

- Ramen noodle flavor packet

- 3 tablespoons vinegar (I use rice wine, but you can use white also)

- ½ tsp. pepper

- 1 tablespoon soy sauce

- 2 tablespoons sugar

Directions:

Combine the cabbage, green onions, sesame seeds and ramen noodles in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the dressing ingredients together and stir well. Before serving, toss the dressing into the cabbage, mixing well, and top with the slivered almonds and sunflower seeds.

If you plan to make the salad in advance, don’t add the ramen noodles until just before serving, otherwise, they will get soggy.

* Chicken is good in this as well.
