Napa Cabbage Salad

Submitted by:June Shockley, originally served by Michele Ogden's sister
I served this for Thanksgiving once and my 80 year old uncle actually called me the next day for the recipe.  He loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ingredients
Salad
  • 2 or more heads napa cabbage
  • 6 stalks green onions
Crunchy Topping
  • 2 pkgs. ramin noodles (do not use flavor packet)
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1/2 c. sesame seeds
  • 1 pkg. slivered almonds
Dressing
  • 1 c. canola oil
  • 1 c. sugar
  • 2 Tbl. soy sauce
  • 1/2 c. cidar vinegar
  • 1/2 t. coarse ground pepper
Directions
Assemble the Salad
  • Shred cabbage like you would for coleslaw. 
  • Snip green onions, using the whole stalk, into little pieces.
Prepare the cruchy topping
  • Melt butter in frying pan.  Add crushed Ramin noodles. (I break them up by putting them in a gallon size zip lock bag and then stepping on them.  It's fun, do a little dance.)  Dump noodles, almonds, and sesame seeds into frying pan.  Stir continuously until browned.  Caution, these will burn in the blink of an eye!  I have burned more than my share, and then you have to start over.
Prepare dressing
  • Combine dressing ingredients and toss with salad just prior to serving. 
  • This salad will keep for another day if you keep the components separate.  The dressing will make the crunchy topping soggy if left on overnight.
