Cut thin strips of Napa cabbage about 2” long. Mix cut green onions and fried almonds with cabbage.

Tips

This a very personal salad. If you would like it a little saltier, go ahead and add just a little more soya sauce. If less sweet, reduce sugar or alternative. If you want more punch, then increase the green onions, so it’s very easy to customize this according to your preference without taking away its unique taste. Enjoy!
