Yummy asian salad

So in my bountiful basket this week was a head of Napa cabbage.  I've never used it before so i looked up some recipes.  Came across one that sounded like a spinach salad my mom used to make so i gave it a try. Love live love it!  And by keeping the greens the crispiest and the dressing in separate containers I can mix up a bowl whenever I want it!  So in one bowl you chop up a head of the Napa cabbage and some sliced green onions.  Then you melt half a stick of butter and add 2 pkgs well crushed ramen noodles, a cup of sesame seeds and slivered almonds [I didn't have these].  Sir until they are nicely browned but not too dark.  Let cool.  I kept this mix in a container.  Put in fridge.  In small pot I brought to a boil
1/4c cider vinegar
3/4 oil [I used 1/8 sesame and the rest grape seed oil]
1/2 white sugar
2 TB soy sauce

This is also kept in fridge. I put a paper towel over the bowl of greens to absorb moisture.
The just fill a bowl with the greens and sprinkle on some crunchies and add some dressing and YUM!
