my mom's japanese coleslaw
A beloved standby on Hawaii dinner tables—a routine dinner, potlucks, and family holidayss. To gussy it up, add grilled salmon and/or dried apricots.

It works really nicely as a side dish to teriyaki salmon, peanut butter miso chicken, or apricot pork chops.
1 head of cabbage, finely shredded
3-4 stalks of green onion, finely chopped
Bag of shredded carrots
Slivered almonds, toasted
1 pkg Nissin chicken-flavored ramen, look for the orange striped package
If you must, you can use Chicken flavor Top Ramen, but without the MSG bomb in the foil pouch.
Dressing
A little less than 1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup white (American) vinegar
Black sesame seeds (for color, but white ones are OK too)
Black pepper, to taste
Canola or Macadamia Nut oil, just enought to hold it together
A splash of sesame oil (for fragrance)
Toss all the salad items together. Mix dressing ingredients together. Pour over salad and toss.
