Ingredients

2 heads Napa or Bok Choy cabbage
6 green onions

One 6-ounce package slivered almonds
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sugar
6 tablespoons white vinegar

Preparation

  1. Tear the cabbage into bite-size pieces and slice the onions. Combine them in a large salad bowl. Crumble the noodles into a broiler pan, add the almonds and sesame seeds, and broil for 2 minutes, being careful not to scorch the sesame seeds.
