I almost forgot to take a picture today! It was almost too late before I remembered, so all I got were my last few bites.
I was always under the assumption that napa cabbage was not all that nutritious. Well, after a google search, I found out that it is in fact very high in vitamin C, K and folates and it has only 16 calories per 100 g. I’ve still got a few more posts to write, so I’m going to keep this one short.

Ingredients
makes 8 servings
- 1 head napa cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 bunch minced green onions
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 1 (3 ounce) package ramen noodles, broken
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 cup slivered almonds
Dressing:
- 2 Tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 Tablespoon white sugar
- 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
Finely shred the head of cabbage; do not chop. Combine the green onions and cabbage in a large bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Make the ramen crunchies: Melt the butter in a pan. Mix the ramen noodles, sesame seeds and almonds into the pot with the melted butter. On Medium heat toss the mixture around until lightly browned. Keep an eye on this or it will quickly burn.
For the dressing mix the vinegar, oil, sugar, and soy sauce. Combine dressing, crunchies, and cabbage immediately before serving. Serve right away or the crunchies will get soggy.
