Instructions 👩‍🍳

1. Smash the ramen noodles — either in the package with your fist or in a ziplock bag if you’re feeling fancy!
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter (or coconut oil).
3. Add almonds, sesame seeds, and crushed ramen noodles.
4. Stir frequently until everything turns golden and toasty. Set aside to cool.
5. To make “peanut oil,” add 3 Tbsp peanut butter to a glass measuring cup. Fill with canola or vegetable oil until the total equals ¾ cup.
6. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir until smooth.
7. In a saucepan, combine sugar, peanut oil (or peanut butter mixture), soy sauce, and vinegar.
8. Bring to a rolling boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat to cool.
9. Just before serving, toss the cabbage and green onions with the crunchy ramen mixture.
10. Pour dressing over the top and toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately!
