Chinese Salad

Ingredients

serves 12

2 heads Napa or Bok Choy cabbage
6 green onions
Two 3-ounce packages ramen noodles with seasoning packets
One 6-ounce package slivered almonds
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sugar
6 tablespoons white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
  1. Tear the cabbage into bite-size pieces and slice the onions. Combine them in a large salad bowl. Crumble the noodles into a broiler pan, add the almonds and sesame seeds, and broil for 2 minutes, being careful not to scorch the sesame seeds. In a jar with a tight lid, combine the oil, sugar, vinegar, and salt with the contents of the seasoning packets. Cover the jar and shake to blend the dressing. Just before serving, pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
