Ingredients
  

  • Two 3 oz / 85 g packages ramen noodles, seasoning packets discarded
  • 1 cup (80 g) slivered almonds
  • ½ lb (250 g) (8.8 oz) baby spinach, washed
  • ½ lb (250 g) (8.8 oz) broccoli coleslaw mix
  • ½ cup (40 g) (1.41 oz) wasabi-flavored peas
  • 4 tablespoons (60 ml / 2 fl oz) roughly chopped candied ginger
  • 1 large mango, pitted, peeled and cut into thin slices
  • 1 red bell pepper, deseeded and cut into thin strips
  • 4 green onions (scallions), thinly sliced
  • ¾ cup (185 ml) (6.3 fl oz) Sesame Dressing
  • Pro-Tips for Success
  • For a make-ahead option, combine all the salad (spinach through green onions) and store in one container. Keep the dressing and the toasted ramen-almond mixture in separate containers. Combine everything just before serving to prevent sogginess.
  • To make this a heartier main course, add a cup of shelled edamame or some crispy baked tofu for a fantastic protein boost.
  • If you can't find broccoli coleslaw mix, you can easily make your own by shredding broccoli stems, carrots, and a little red cabbage.
  • Control the heat by crushing the wasabi peas slightly to distribute the spice, or use half wasabi peas and half regular roasted green peas for a milder kick.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C.
  2. Crumble the dry ramen noodles over a baking sheet and add the slivered almonds, spreading into an even layer.
  3. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the almonds are fragrant and just beginning to turn golden brown.
  4. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely.
  5. In a large serving bowl, combine the baby spinach, broccoli coleslaw, wasabi-flavored peas, candied ginger, mango slices, red bell pepper strips, and sliced green onions.
  6. Pour the Sesame Dressing over the salad and toss well to combine.
  7. Just before serving, add the cooled, toasted ramen noodles and almonds to the bowl.
  8. Toss one last time and serve immediately for the best crunch.
