- unsalted butter
- 1/4 lbs sliced raw almonds
- 1/2 cup sesame seeds
- 2 pack Chicken Flavor Top Ramen
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 3/4 cup olive or vegetable oil

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the almonds and sesame seeds.
-
Step 2.
While the almonds and sesame seeds are cooking, place the Top Ramen noodles (reserve the seasoning packets) in a large ziplock bag. Seal the bag and crush the noodles with a rolling pin or can on the countertop.
-
Step 3.
Add the crushed noodles to the pan with the almonds and sesame seeds. Stir occasionally until the mixture is golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
-
Step 4.
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together the sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and the reserved Top Ramen seasoning packets. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and stir in the olive or vegetable oil. Transfer the dressing to a glass jar and refrigerate until cool.
-
Step 5.
While the dressing cools, combine the finely chopped cabbage and white onion in a large salad bowl.
-
Step 6.
Once the dressing is cool, pour it over the cabbage mixture and toss until well coated.
-
Step 7.
Just before serving, sprinkle the crunchy topping (almonds, sesame seeds, and noodles) and sliced green onions over the salad. Mix lightly and serve immediately.
