Prepare Vegetables:

Make Dressing:

Toast Sesame Seeds and Almonds:

Prepare Ramen Noodles:
- Now, it’s time to give those humble Ramen Noodles a transformation! Remove the noodles from their packaging and crush them into bite-sized pieces. You can do this by gently breaking them apart with your hands.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- Approximately 2 to 3 hours before serving, combine the shredded cabbage, sliced green onions, crushed Ramen noodles, and toasted sesame seeds and almonds in the mixing bowl. Pour the chilled dressing over the mixture and toss everything together until well coated. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Final Touch:
- Just before serving, sprinkle additional sesame seeds on top for an extra burst of nutty goodness. This adds a finishing touch to the salad, enhancing both its flavor and presentation.
