This is my all time favorite. It tastes great the next day too. I buy the cabbage already shredded and the mushrooms already sliced. I use clean kitchen scissors to cut the green onions. It takes about 5 minutes to whip together and everyone always raves about it.
JAPANESE CABBAGE NOODLE SALAD
1 med. cabbage, shredded (or buy mix)
1 green onion, sliced
2 pkgs. chicken flavor Ramen noodles, break up but DO NOT COOK
4 tsp. sesame seeds, toasted - keep separate
4 tbsp. sliced almonds, toasted - keep separate
Make dressing in a jar: Combine:
1 tbsp. sesame oil
1/2 c. salad oil
4 tsp. sugar
6 tbsp. vinegar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
Add seasonings from packets of noodles. Assemble all ingredients when you are about to serve it. The noodles absorb the dressing and make a crunchy salad. I like to use less cabbage and add 2 cups cooked chicken pieces. Serves 8-10.
