Ingredients

Salad

  • 2 pounds Napa cabbage
  • 2 cups sliced green onions (2 bunches)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 packages Ramen noodles crumbled into pieces
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Salad

  • Slice the napa cabbage into 1/4 inch slices. If the pieces are too large, you may want to roughly chop the cabbage again.
  • Place the cabbage into your largest mixing bowl along with the green onions.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan.
  • Add the ramen noodles to saucepan and cook until they are toasted but not burnt. Watch them closely, as it only takes a few seconds for the noodles to burn after they are toasted.
  • Add the toasted ramen noodles and slivered almonds to salad and toss.

Dressing

  • Combine the sugar, vinegar, ground ginger, dry mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce, and vegetable oil in a medium-sized bowl or a shaker bottle.
  • Season with salt and pepper, and shake or whisk thoroughly. It may seem like the sugar won't dissolve, but it will.
  • Once the sugar has completely dissolved, pour the dressing over the slaw and mix well.

Recipe Tips

  • If you want to substitute the sugar, you can try Equal or Splenda to avoid the sugar calories.
  • Since you are only using the green part of the onion, set aside the white side for another recipe.
  • When mixing the dressing, try using a dressing shaker.  This makes mixing the ingredients so much easier and you can store it in the container when you are done.
