Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 packs of ramen noodles
  • 2 cups of shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup of shredded carrots
  • 1 cup of snap peas trimmed
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 4 green onions sliced
  • 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup of slivered almonds
  • 1/4 cup of sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup of soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon of honey
  • 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon of grated ginger

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Medium pot
  • Colander
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Boil water in a medium pot and cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Once cooked, drain the noodles in a colander and rinse them under cold running water to stop the cooking process.
  3. While the noodles are cooking, wash and chop all the vegetables as directed.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ramen noodles, shredded cabbage, carrots, snap peas, red bell pepper, green onions, and cilantro. Toss everything together.
  6. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the slivered almonds on top of the salad.
  8. Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

For extra flavor, let the salad sit for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the noodles to absorb the dressing.
