  • 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds

Dressing Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Cook the ramen noodles: Break the ramen noodles into small pieces and cook them according to the package instructions to ensure they are tender yet retain some bite.

  4. Prepare the dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil to form a flavorful and balanced dressing.
  5. Combine noodles with vegetables: Add the cooled ramen noodles to the bowl with the vegetable and almond mixture, ensuring even distribution.
  6. Toss with dressing: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together gently to coat all ingredients well with the dressing.
  7. Chill before serving: Refrigerate the salad for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and to serve it chilled for optimal taste and texture.

Notes

  • Breaking the ramen noodles into smaller pieces helps with mixing and eating the salad comfortably.
  • Rinsing the noodles stops cooking and helps cool them quickly for the salad.
  • Chilling the salad allows the flavors to blend and enhances the overall taste.
  • You can substitute slivered almonds with sliced toasted peanuts or cashews for variation.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free ramen noodles and tamari in place of soy sauce.
  • Adjust sugar in the dressing to suit your preferred balance of sweetness.
