Recipe Instructions:

Preparation: Begin by mixing together the Napa cabbage and green onion in a large bowl. Ensure they are evenly combined for maximum flavor distribution. Then, place the bowl in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the remaining components.
-
-
Noodle Mix: In a separate bowl, melt the butter. Once melted, add the sugar to the butter and stir until well combined. Next, take your favorite type of noodles and crush them into small pieces. Mix the crushed noodles with the sunflower seeds and the butter-sugar mixture until everything is evenly coated.
-
Browning: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the noodle mixture onto a baking sheet, ensuring an even layer. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture is lightly browned. Alternatively, if you’re short on time, you can brown the mixture in the microwave. Simply microwave for 3 minutes, stir, then microwave for an additional 3 minutes. Continue microwaving in 1-minute intervals, stirring each time, until the mixture achieves a light brown color. Be sure to keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
-
Dressing Preparation: While the noodle mix is browning, it’s time to prepare the dressing. In a blender, combine the vinegar and soy sauce. Blend until smooth and well incorporated. Once blended, transfer the dressing to a container and chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
-
Final Assembly: Just before serving, take the chilled cabbage and green onion mixture out of the refrigerator. Add the browned noodle mix to the bowl, ensuring it’s evenly distributed. Finally, pour the chilled dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat everything in the flavorful dressing.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Your Chinese Cabbage Salad is now ready to be served! Whether as a side dish or a main course, this salad is sure to impress with its delightful combination of textures and flavors. Garnish with additional green onions or sunflower seeds if desired, and savor every delicious bite!
