Fresh Summer Salads - Ramen Noodles Salad

Have you tried to eat ramen noodles? If not, you know what it is ..? It is a thinner version of the regular noodles (as far as we know, there are several more differences between ramen and "usual"). we went to Japan and tried ramen noodles, and fell in love with them. It's simple, very cheap and very tasty and very easy to cook. What more could you ask for ..? In my opinion, not much. 

We thought this article we will present a little different - at least we think it is - a way to make ramen noodles dish. This way of doing that involves cooking the noodles for 1 to 1.5 minutes less than usual, in other words, 1.5 or 2 minutes instead of the usual three. 

We do it because we like my noodles to be slightly al dente, not too soft. The taste may not change too much, but when it comes to something you have in your salad, it is good to have it not be too soft.
It is a good idea to break the noodles into smaller pieces before adding them to the boiling water. 

The ingredients for this recipe is as follows: 

a package with the size of eight ounces, coleslaw mix 
2 chopped green onions 
1 sliced celery stick 
1 / 2 cup slivered almonds 
1 / 2 cup shelled sunflower seeds 
1 / 2 chopped ell pepper 
1 grated carrot 
1 package ramen noodles 
For dressing, these are the ingredients: 
Vinegar - 1 / 4 cup 
salt - 1 / 2 tsp 
Pepper - 1 / 2 tsp 
Salad oil - 1 / 2 cup 
Sugar - 1 teaspoon 
Ramen noodle flavor from the package, which is optional - 1-2 clamps 

You do the ramen noodles salad as follows: Mix together everything but the dressing and noodles in a large bowl. After adding all the dressing ingredients in another bowl and whisk in enough to make them mixed. Add dressing to salad. 

Last but certainly not least, it's time to cook noodles. You crumble the dry noodles and put them in water for two minutes or so. When finished, place them in a strainer to drain - and rinse with cold water. Last but not least, mix it all together - then cover and refrigerate.
