Chinese Cabbage Salad
This Chinese Cabbage Salad is super delicious with green onions, carrots, ramen noodles, almonds, rice vinegar, & soy sauce.
Ingredients
- 2-2 1/2 pounds nappa cabbage washed and cut very thinly
- 5 green onions sliced thin
- 1 cup shredded carrots optional
- 3 packages ramen noodles crushed (throw them in a Ziploc and hammer them with something heavy)
- 1/2 C. butter
- 1/4 C. sliced almonds
- 1/4 C. sesame seeds
Dressing:
- 3/4 C. peanut oil or 3 T peanut butter + canola oil to equal 3/4 C *I used the substitution and it turned out amazing. I am gonna use this from now on instead of actual peanut oil
- 1/2 C. sugar
- 1/4 C. rice vinegar
- 2 T soy sauce
Instructions
- Combine the cabbage, green onions and carrots in a large serving bowl. Set aside (or in the fridge).
- In a large saute pan, combine the butter, almonds and sesame seeds. Cook, stirring frequently, until everything becomes lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
- Prepare the dressing: Combine the dressing ingredients in a sauce pan over medium heat. Once combined, bring heat up to medium high and bring to a rolling boil. Boil for one minute and remove from heat. Let cool.
- To serve: Combine all ingredients right before serving. Layer the cabbage down first, then crunchy topping, then the dressing.

I’ve made a variant of this – using the seasoning packet instead of soy sauce. It’s awesome. I like the idea of not using the seasoning packet, as it would have a bit less salt…
