CRUNCHY NAPA CABBAGE SALAD



Crunchy Napa Cabbage Salad image

This simple salad is great for a large group. Or make the elements, store them separately, and put together small portions as you want them.

Provided by Laura

Categories     Salad

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unflavored vegetable oil (canola or similar)
1 tablespoon soy sauce (can use reduced sodium)
4 tablespoons butter
2 packages dried ramen noodles, crushed
3-4 tablespoons slivered almonds
1/2 teaspoon seasoning from noodle package or freshly ground pepper
1 head Napa or Chinese cabbage, trimmed (about 1-2" off bottom), then shredded
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced (green and light green parts)

Steps:

  • Put rice vinegar and sugar in small pot under medium-low flame. Heat, stirring, just until the sugar has completely dissolved.
  • Add the oil and soy sauce to the vinegar and sugar. Stir or whisk until well combined and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Melt the butter on a foil-lined cookie sheet. (That takes about 4 minutes.) Break up the dried ramen noodles in a medium-sized bowl. They don't have to be crushed to a pulp - just made into bite-sized pieces. Mix in the almonds. Spread the mixture on the cookie sheet. Gently mix the butter and crunchies so that the latter are lightly covered with butter. Bake for 10-15 minutes until light golden brown, stirring once or twice while they bake.
  • Sprinkle the seasoning powder on the crunchies, mix it in, and set the crunchies aside to cool.
  • Mix the scallion slices and shredded cabbage.
  • Just before serving, whisk the dressing again, pour it over the cabbage and top with crunchies. To reserve part of the salad, keep the 3 elements: dressing; crunchies; and cabbage/scallion mixture in separate well-sealed containers. Only the cabbage/scallion mixture needs refrigeration.

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 to 4 cloves garlic, peeled, crushed and chopped (2 teaspoons)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 firm head Napa cabbage (about 1 pound)

  • Trim the cabbage, removing and discarding damaged or wilted leaves, and cut the head crosswise into 1-inch slices. You should have about 8 cups. Wash well and spin dry in a salad dryer (moisture would dilute the dressing). Ten or 15 minutes before serving, add the cabbage to the dressing, toss well and set aside, so the dressing can penetrate the cabbage and soften it slightly.

CABBAGE CRUNCH SALAD

This is a wonderful cabbage salad that offers a good alternative to regular coleslaw. It has a good texture and wonderful taste.

Provided by Angela T

Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds
1/2 head shredded cabbage
4 -5 green onions, finely chopped
1 package chicken-flavored ramen noodles, uncooked crumbled into small pieces

1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 packet seasoning, from noodles

Steps:

  • Combine the first five ingredients.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and crunchy Napa cabbage: The fresher the cabbage, the better the salad will be. Look for heads of cabbage that are firm and heavy, with tightly packed leaves. Avoid any heads that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Cut the cabbage thinly: This will help the cabbage absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline to slice the cabbage.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, flavor, and texture to the salad. Some good options include carrots, radishes, cucumber, and bell pepper.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This will help keep the cabbage crisp and refreshing.

Conclusion:

Napa cabbage salad is a healthy and delicious dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. With its crunchy texture and tangy dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
