Maine Cookbook: Napa Cabbage Salad

I am trying very hard to post more instead of agonizing over every post! So this one will be short and sweet, like this salad.

My Aunt L. made this salad one night in Maine. And nobody could believe (a) that it was actually cabbage and actually delicious or (b) that it was so simple to make. It's one of those great recipes that tastes like so much more than it is, with a huge crunch and sweetness and light and depth. Bring it to your next cookout and blow everyone away.


Napa Cabbage Salad

4-5 LBS Napa cabbage sliced into thin strips
5 scallions
2 Pkg Ramen Noodles (discard seasonaings)
1 small pkg slivered almonds
1 Tbs sesame seeds

Dressing
1/2 C vinegar
1/4 C olive oil
1/4 C water
1 C sugar
5 tsp soy sauce

Preheat over to 350. Break Ramen noodles into pieces and bake on a cookie sheet until brown. (No time given, but I'd imagine that would be about five minutes, and check frequently.) Add almonds and sesame seeds to the cookie sheet and brown. (Again, likely a matter of minutes.)
Mix everything together and enjoy!
