Yum, this salad is very enjoyable and what a great way to use cabbage. I had some regular cabbage that needed to be used up and I'm so glad I picked this delicious salad. The toasted sesame seeds, almonds, and ramen added a nutty taste that enhanced it wonderfully. I had a serrano chili (needed to use it up) that gave it a slight edge. Thank you Cooks4_6 for sharing. Made it for Photo Tag. -
I made this thinking it was going to taste funny because I could not find chinese cabbage in any of my stores. Since I couldnt not find it, I used coleslaw mix. Well... it was amazing and very filling. Will definitely make again! -
Very good! I took it to a large family function and everyone enjoyed it. I used regular cabbage since I could not find the chinese cabbage. Very easy and very cheap to make. -
I used seasame oil for more sesame flavour and I also added chopped waterchestnuts ( added another little extra crunch). I may try a little ginger next time too. All in all, the salad was a hit with everyone! Even my seven yearold cleaned his plate!! Super easy to make as well as inexpensive!! -
I just love oriental cabbage salads and this was so good! I did use regular cabbage, that's what I had on hand. Thanks! Made for the My Three Chefs event in the contests/events forum.

I am originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota and moved to Ohio in 1978. It was quite a culture shock going from the city to living next to the Amish. I spend most of my time cooking, cleaning and caring for my four kids. I have abandoned cookbooks and now cook from favorite, wilted recipe pages and the internet. I fell in love with my Italian family recipes (Scavo, Rotella, Scalzo, Micelli, Grande, Gigliotti) and my Mom's homecooked meals.
