Can you believe it’s March already? One of my favorite food events this month is St. Patrick’s Day. I love homemade Corned Beef Brisket and Cabbage. It’s been a tradition at our house for years, even though we’re not Irish. We’re not Asian either, but I love Chinese Cabbage Ramen salad. It’s another great way to make use of those great deals on cabbage you’ll see all month at the grocery store! There are so many variations of this recipe. How do you make it?
Frugal Tips: Make use of produce that is in season or is being promoted for special event or holiday. They usually are great deals, or even promoted as loss leaders. Think of new, creative uses for them.
View the other Cabbage Recipes I’ve made lately, or these ideas from Mommysavers:
- Salad:
- ½ head cabbage, finely chopped
- 4 green onions, chopped
- ½ stick butter
- 1 pkg. ramen noodles, crumbled (discard the flavor packets)
- ¼ C. sesame seeds
- ¼ C. sliced almonds
- Dressing:
- 2 Tbsp. peanut butter
- ½ C. canola oil
- ⅓ C. sugar
- ¼ C. rice vinegar
- 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
- Preheat oven to 350. Toss together the cabbage and green onions. On a cookie sheet, melt the butter and then place the ramen noodles, sesame seeds and almonds on it. Bake until lightly toasted. Allow to cool.
- Meanwhile, mix the peanut butter and canola oil. Heat in the microwave (about 20-30 seconds) if necessary. Combine whisk together the remaining dressing ingredients. Toss the cabbage and onions with the dressing about ½ hour before serving. Add the noodle/sesame/almond topping at the end.
