Napa Cabbage Salad

1 head Napa cabbage - shredded
5 green onions (scallions), cut in small pieces
3/4 c sliced or slivered almonds
1/4 c sesame seeds
2 Tbsp butter
2 packages Chinese (Ramen) noodles with seasoning (uncooked)

Shred the cabbage and combine with the chopped scallions. Place in a storage container and refrigerate this mixture. Brown the almonds and sesame seeds in 3 Tbsp butter for about 3 minutes. Cool for a few minutes, place in a container and set aside.

 Dressing:
1 c olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
3 Tbsp soy sauce
1/2 c white wine vinegar

Combine all dressing ingredients in a heavy bottom saucepan and bring to a boil for one minute. Let this cool. If you aren't serving right away, pour into a mason jar or other container. Do not refrigerate.
Crunch up the uncooked Chinese noodles and place in a storage bag or other container with dressing. 

When you are ready to serve, shake up the dressing and pour it into the cabbage-onion mixture. Toss in the almonds and sesame seeds, as well as the Chines noodles, and mix well. Serve immediately. Walnuts can be substituted for almonds, or in addition to them. Hulled hemp seeds can also be added.
