Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crunchy Ramen Salad with Bok Choy.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will set the stage for toasting those ramen noodles to perfection. Next, grab a baking sheet and combine the broken ramen noodles, sunflower seeds, and slivered almonds. Drizzle the melted butter over this crunchy mixture and give it a good toss to ensure everything is well coated. Now, pop the baking sheet into the oven and toast the mixture for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want it to be lightly browned and fragrant, so keep an eye on it to prevent burning. Once toasted, set it aside to cool.
Step 2
While the ramen mixture is cooling, let’s whip up the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the white sugar, vegetable oil, red wine vinegar, and soy sauce until it’s well combined. This dressing is what will elevate your salad with a burst of flavor!
Step 3
Now, it’s time to bring everything together. In a large bowl, combine the chopped bok choy, sweet onion, and your cooled toasted ramen mixture. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss everything together until it’s beautifully coated. This salad is not just a side; it’s a crunchy, flavorful delight that can stand on its own!
How to Serve
Serve this salad chilled or at room temperature for the best flavor. It makes a fantastic side dish for grilled meats or can be enjoyed as a light lunch on its own.
How to Store
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The salad is best enjoyed fresh, but it can last for a day or two. If you anticipate leftovers, consider keeping the dressing separate until you're ready to serve to maintain the crunchiness of the noodles.
