Hawaiian-Style Sesame Cabbage Salad

Category: Slaws

1 large head green cabbage, shredded into ¼-inch ribbons
6-8 scallions, white and green parts, sliced thin (about 2 cups)
1/4 cup mirin
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tbs. sugar
1/4 tbs. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. white pepper
1/4 cup sesame oil
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
1/4 cup black sesame seeds
1 package instant ramen noodles, crushed lightly (save the seasoning packet for another use, or discard)

In a large bowl, combine the cabbage and scallions. In a medium bowl, whisk together mirin, vinegar, sugar, salt, and white pepper. Combine the sesame and vegetable oils in a separate vessel and slowly add into mirin mixture, whisking steadily, until all the oil is added and the dressing has emulsified. Add vinaigrette to the bowl of cabbage and scallions, top with sesame seeds and crushed ramen noodles. Toss to combine and serve immediately.
