his Asian Ramen Noodle Salad is my go-to for picnics and parties because it “sits” so well. Meaning that it doesn’t need to be eaten the minute it is tossed and it doesn’t wilt. In my opinion, it is even better about 20 minutes after it is tossed with the dressing. The crunchy ramen soften ever so slightly in the sweet and nutty soy dressing. It soaks up the dressing a bit in the most delicious way.
Ingredients
6 cups shredded Veri Fine Brand Napa cabbage
1 brick of ramen noodle soup, seasoning packet discarded, noodles broken up
2 cups finely sliced Veri Fine Brand red cabbage
1 cup sliced scallions
1 carrot, finely chopped
1 Veri Fine red bell pepper, cut into matchsticks
1/2 cup thinly sliced radishes or watermelon radishes
1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds
1/4 cup avocado oil
1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
3 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Method
1. Place Napa in a large salad bowl.
2. Top with broken noodles, red cabbage, scallions, carrot, bell pepper, radishes, and almonds.
3. Combine avocado oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, orange juice, sesame oil, maple syrup, and garlic powder in a jar.
4. Shake well to combine.
5. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Let sit for 10 minutes, tossing occasionally to soften the ramen.
Ingredient Note:
You can substitute green cabbage for Napa cabbage if you can’t source Napa cabbage. You could also use whole toasted almonds rather than sliced.
Make-Ahead:
This salad can be assembled but not tossed 1 day ahead. Keep the dressing separately in the jar and refrigerate both.
