2 1/4 lb. green cabbage, shredded fine
1 1/3 c. chopped green onions
3 pkgs. chicken flavor oriental noodles with seasoning packets
1 c. toasted slivered almonds
1/4 c. toasted sesame seeds

DRESSING:

1/4 c. granulated sugar
1/4 c. vinegar
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. pepper
1/4 c. dark or oriental sesame oil
1 1/2 tbsp. hot chili oil or to taste (Oriental food section of market)

Put sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper in a large bowl and whisk until sugar dissolves. Whisk in oils until well blended. Add cabbage and green onions. Toss to mix. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Mixture will wilt and decrease in size.

About 4 hours before serving, crumble uncooked noodles over cabbage mixture. Sprinkle with seasoning packets and toss to mix well. Cover and refrigerate. Noodles will soften as they absorb moisture. Just before serving, add almonds and sesame seeds and toss to mix. Makes 14 servings.
