Step 1

Toast almonds: Lightly toast the slivered almonds in a small skillet over medium heat until lightly browned (no oil). Remove immediately and let cool.

Step 2

Dressing: Shake Dressing ingredients in a jar until sugar is dissolved. (This keeps for 3 weeks!)

Step 3

Shred cabbage: Cut cabbage (see photos in post, helpful): cut 1 slit down the middle lengthwise (or 2, if it's giant like the one I used). Then finely slice so it's shredded. Just use the top 1/2 - 2/3, mostly leafy part. Reserve the thick crunchy white part for another use (excellent in stir fries!).

Step 4

Toss everything except crispy noodles: Place cabbage in a big bowl with toasted almonds and green onions. Pour over Dressing, toss well.

Step 5

Add crispy noodles! Toss through noodles just before serving so they stay crisp!
