Oriental Spicy Slaw - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup rice or cider vinegar
2 tsp. each salt and pepper
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup dark oriental sesame oil
1 1/2 tsp. hot chili oil
2 1/4 lbs. green cabbage, finely shredded (about 14 cups)
1 1/3 cup chopped green onions
3 pkgs. Chicken flavored oriental noodles with seasoning packets
1 cup toasted slivered almonds
1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds

Preparation

In large bowl, whisk first six ingredients together until sugar dissolves to make dressing. Combine dressing with cabbage and onions. About 4 hours before serving, crumble in 3 packages of noodles and sprinkle seasoning packet contents over all. Toss to mix. Cover and chill. Noodles will soften as they absorb moisture. Just before serving, add toasted almonds and sesame seeds. Toss to mix well.
This makes a large amount and is difficult to cut down so plan this one for a large family gathering or cook out. Caution, it is spicy.
