Delicious Bok Choy Salad

Ingredients:
First Step: Salad topping
½ cup butter
2 TB sugar
½ c sesame seeds
2 pkgs Top Ramen noodles (broken/crushed to tiny pieces)
3 oz sliced almonds

Melt the butter and lightly brown the above ingredients. Set aside browned ingredients in a separate container.

Second step: Salad
2 lbs Bok Choy (chop stalks as well as leaf, I also use savoy/chinese cabbage with good results)
4 green onion stalks (chop into small pieces)

Combine the above ingredients into a large salad bowl and refrigerate if not serving immediately.

Third Step: Dressing
¾ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup red wine vinegar
½ c sugar
2 TB soy sauce
1 TB sesame seed oil (this is a crucial ingredient! Find it in the Asian section in a small bottle)

Combine and mix the above third step ingredients.

Fourth step: Salad mixing/preparation
When ready to serve, mix all three prepared ingredients evenly in a large serving bowl.

Just a hint: It is not a good idea to refrigerate the salad if there are leftovers. It doesn't survive the refrigerator.
