| Prep time | 30 minutes |
| 6 | Cup | green cabbage (or 1 large bag) |
| 2 | Cup | red cabbage (or 1 small bag) |
| 5 | green onions (diced) | |
| 2 | Can | mandarin oranges (small, optional) |
| 1⁄2 | Cup | white sugar (use more or less to taste) |
| 1⁄2 | Cup | white vinegar (or plain rice vinegar) |
| 3⁄4 | Cup | vegetable oil (or olive oil) |
| 2 | Tablespoon | soy sauce (more or less to taste) |
| 1⁄4 | Cup | butter |
| 1⁄2 | Cup | almonds (slivered) |
| 1 | Package | Ramen noodles (broken up) |
| Ramen noodles seasoning packet (if desired) | ||
| 1⁄4 | Cup | sesame seeds |
Blend white sugar, vinegar, oil and soy sauce together in a jar and shake well. Brown all the crunch topping ingredients in butter until lightly browned. Add sesame seeds last as they burn easily. Mix the green and red cabbage and the onions in a large bowl and store in refrigerator. Just before serving, mix the dressing with the cabbage and top with the crunchy topping.
You may use chicken or beef flavored Ramen noodles instead of the oriental flavor. Add 2 small cans of mandarin oranges for variety. Also, you may add 1 teaspoon of horseradish to dressing for more zing!
