Ramen Noodle Cabbage Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Toss cabbage, ramen noodles and seasoning packets, red bell pepper, green onion, almonds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, sugar, peanut oil, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and black pepper together in a large resealable bag until evenly mixed.

Steps:

• 1. REMOVE flavor packet from both soup mixes. RESERVE both packets.
• 2. BREAK up the Ramen Noodles into bite size pieces and SET ASIDE
• 3. TOSS together cabbage, green onions and sesame seeds in a bowl.
• 4. WHISK together one packet of the soup flavor, oil and vinegar NOTE: you may add some or all of the second packet if you want more seasoning DRIZZLE over the cabbage mixture and TOSS
• 5. COVER and CHILL for 1 hour
• 6. COAT a pan with non-stick spray or you may use a small amount of oil if you choose
• 7. SAUTE noodles and almonds over medium heat until lightly browned
• 8. REMOVE from heat DRAIN on a couple paper towels to remove excess oil and allow to COOL
• 9. STIR the noodles and almonds into the cabbage mixture
• 10. SERVE chilled and keep chilled throughout the event.
• 11. NOTE: This salad is best if made no more than an hour before guests arrive. The crunchiness will remain for a few hours but can't be held overnight as the noodles obsorb the moisture and get soggy.

Steps:

• Mix cabbage and green onions in a large bowl. Use a large sealed container (like Tupperware) if you plan to take the dish to another site to serve. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350°F Place sliced almonds on an ungreased cookie sheet and toast until dark (but not burnt); this will take approximately 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Open the ramen noodle packets and set the flavor packets to the side. You will use these in the following step. Empty ramen noodles into a gallon-sized baggie and crush; add toasted almonds. Close and set aside.
• Empty the three flavor packets, oil, water, vinegar and sugar into a jar or other lidded container and shake to mix well. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste. Close jar securely.
• You end with three packages: one cabbage mix pack, one dry ingredient, and one jar of vinaigrette. Just before serving, add the oil to the cabbage mixture and toss well. Add the dry ingredients to this and toss well.
• Please note that "Oriental" flavor ramen usually has beef broth; if this is the case, the dish will not be vegetarian.
• I highly recommend toasting the almonds to a dark brown color. Just watch closely! I have had even more enthusiastic responses to the salad when the almonds are darker, which gives them a richer, more distinctive flavor that marries well with the rest of the dish.

Steps:

• Finely shred the head of cabbage; do not chop. Combine the green onions and cabbage in a large bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Make the crunchies: Melt the butter in a pot. Mix the ramen noodles, sesame seeds and almonds into the pot with the melted butter. Spoon the mixture onto a baking sheet and bake the crunchies in the preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven, turning often to make sure they do not burn. When they are browned remove them from the oven.
• Make the dressing: In a small saucepan, heat vinegar, oil, sugar, and soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, let boil for 1 minute. Remove the pan from heat and let cool.
• Combine dressing, crunchies, and cabbage immediately before serving. Serve right away or the crunchies will get soggy.

Steps:

• Boil noodles according to package directions, reserving the flavor packets(to use in dressing).
• Once noodles are cooked and cooled, combine with coleslaw mix, almonds, sunflower seeds and scallions in a large bowl.
• Whisk together 2 beef flavor packets, sesame oil, vinegar, sugar, and soy sauce and pour over salad.
• Garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
