Christmas Gathering at Mom and Dad's(The bok choy salad is in the yellow bowl to the left)
This is another recipe from my aunt Linda that my mother-in-law asked for and I decided to share with everyone.
We were all together for a Christmas gathering at my mom and dad's (which -- one of these days -- I plan to do an entire blog post on) and my aunt Linda brought this salad.
My aunt prepared this salad a number of times for us when we were kids and we loved it! So my mom asked her to bring it at Christmas. It was my mother-in-law's first time having it and she thought it was delicious.
Enjoy!
Bok Choy Salad Recipe:
1/2 Stick butter
2 Pkgs. raman noodles (crushed so they are in 1/2" chunks (these will act as you "croutons")
1/2 cup sesame seeds (add at the very end -- they burn easily)
1/4 Cup sliced almonds
1 Head green savoy cabbage (if available)
1 Head Napa cabbage
1 Head bok choy
1/4 Head red cabbage (for color)
1 Bunch of green onions
Heat Butter in frying pan. Toast raman noodles first and then add sesame seed and almonds. Toast until light brown.
Use a sharp knife to slice cabbages into thin strips and then cut across strips into 2" pieces. You want it to be fine and edible with just a fork -- no knife needed. Slice green onions. Toss all together.
Dressing:
1/2 Cup rice wine vinegar
1/2 Cup sugar
Mix these two together first so sugar dissolves.
1/2 Cup vegetable oil
2 T. soy sauce
Add dressing right before serving.
Serves 12 people.
