NAPA SALAD (CHINESE CABBAGE) -- NO RAMEN NOODLES
Napa was on sale this week so I ended up with more than I could readily include in a stir-fry. I decided to search here to see if it could be used in a cole-slaw or salad but all I came with was a dozen variations of the same recipe that called for ramen noodle. I've had that at pot luck dinners and can't stand it. So here is what I came up with. DS#1 added the pecans -- he's got good taste for a 15yo, hasn't he?

Steps:
- 1. Slice cabbage very thin, or you can chop it but we like it sliced thin. I don't always use a whole bunch of green onions about half as we don't like that many onions. Anyway chop your onions and mix them with the cabbage and place in fridge.
- 2. In a cake pan or like place the seeds and butter with the broken noodles and bake in oven at 350* until they are golden brown. remove from oven set aside.
- 3. In sauce pan, put vinegar, oil, sugar and soy sauce and bring to a boil and then oil for one minute.
- 4. Just before your ready to eat your salad, I take the seed mixture and mix in with the cabbage and then I mix my cooled dressing with a hand blender, then pour over the salad and mix well. Enjoy and this recipe is for you David .
Tips:
- To save time, use a food processor to shred the cabbage and carrots.
- If you don't have rice vinegar, you can substitute white vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
- Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as shredded cucumber, bell pepper, or snow peas.
- For a more flavorful salad, marinate the cabbage and carrots in the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve the salad immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
