Bok Choy Salad

This recipe comes from inside the athletic department at Clemson!!! Linda McCuen, the wife of men's tennis coach Chuck McCuen sent this to me and it looks great. for those of you who do not know what Bok Choy is, it is an asian cabbage. VERY GOOD!

Bok Choy Salad

2 (3 oz) packages of Ramen noodles, any flavor

1/2 c. sunflower seed kernels

3 T. slivered almonds

1/2 c. sugar

1/4 c. olive oil

1/4 c. cider vinegar

2 T. soy sauce (low sodium works well)

1 bok choy, shredded

6 green onions, chopped

Preheat oven to 350.

Bring sugar, olive oil, soy sauce, and vinegar to a boil in a saucepan. Set aside to cool.

Remove flavor packs from Ramen noodles. Add to sugar mixture.

Crumble noodles and combine with sunflower seeds and almonds. Spread on a 15x10 jelly roll pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until just golden brown.

Place bok choy and onions in a bowl. Drizzle with sugar mixture. Add Ramen mixture and toss well.
