  • 170g shredded cabbage and carrot mix

  • 65g (roughly 6 larger) scallions, chopped

  • 115g rice or white vinegar

  • 20g sesame oil

WHAT TO DO:

  • When ramen is cooked, drained, and cooled, add to the rest of the salad ingredients, then incorporate dressing. Toss thoroughly with kitchen tongs.

GIVE IT A TRY:

  • You can serve it right away, but this salad has a more developed flavor if refrigerated overnight first. Once developed, add additional dressing ingredients or seasonings to taste/preference.
