Ramen Napa Salad

I almost forgot to share Al's 3rd cabbage recipe from his cabbage extravaganza (click here for fried cabbage with bacon and sweet & sour cabbage ), look at me remembering to post it before like a year went by and I stumbled on it and then had to write yet another long 'oops, I have the worst memory' post! This is a great salad - I have a similar recipe but have always left the ramen in big hunks, in this recipe the ramen gets smashed into little small bits and browned in butter - yum! I love this variation...Dave and I both were crazy for it, keeper recipe for sure. 

NAPA SALAD

1 med. head Napa cabbage

4 Green onions & tops – chopped

1 stick butter

½ c Sesame seeds

½ c Almond slivers

2 packages Ramen noodles (crushed) – discard seasoning packets

Dressing:

1 c oil

¾ c vinegar – apple cider

2 T soy sauce - darrk

¾ c sugar

• Shred cabbage
• Brown sesame seeds, almonds, crushed noodles in butter – drain on paper towels
• In a separate container mix dressing ingredients 
• Combine cabbage, crispy mixture and dressing just before serving.

Note: Al left out the almonds because of Dave's nut allergy and it was still very crunchy and flavorful. I didn't miss them at all - but then again I haven't had this salad with the almonds so who knows, maybe it takes it to a whole new level!
