Oriental Cabbage Salad

I begged for this recipe from a friend at a recent confirmation. Everyone there loved it and went back for seconds.

Ingredients:

• 1 head of cabbage or 2 pkgs. of perpared, chopped cabbage with carrots and some red cabbage)
• 3 bunches of green onions
• 1 pkg. of Ramen noodles and the seasoning packet
• 1 8 oz. pkg slivered almonds
• 1 stick butter
• 1 cup oil
• 1/2 cup vinegar
• 1 cup sugar

Note: This makes a very large recipe so I am sure that it could be cut in half successfully. I might also try to alter the amount of butter as it seems excessive.

Directions:

Brown noodles (crushed) and seasoning, almonds and butter in pan. Watch closely as it burns easily. Mix with cabbage and green onions. Bring oil, vinegar and sugar to a boil. Cool completely and pour over cabbage.
