Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all the fresh vegetables for your salad ramen. Wash them thoroughly, pat them dry, and then cut them as specified in the recipe.
Step 2
Thinly julienne the red onion, cucumber, mini bell pepper, and cabbage. Cutting them into thin strips ensures they mix well with the ramen and provide a pleasant texture.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients: mayonnaise, ketchup, oligosaccharide, vinegar, salt, and toasted sesame seeds. Whisk everything together until smooth and well combined, ensuring there are no lumps. Taste and adjust the sweetness or tanginess according to your preference.
Step 4
Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook them for about 30 seconds to 1 minute less than the package instructions suggest to maintain a slightly chewy texture. Immediately drain the cooked noodles and rinse them under cold running water to stop the cooking process and enhance their springiness. Drain them very well in a colander; excess water can dilute the dressing.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, add the well-drained ramen noodles and all the julienned vegetables (red onion, cucumber, mini bell pepper, and cabbage). Fill the bowl generously for a visually appealing dish.
Step 6
Pour the prepared salad dressing evenly over the noodles and vegetables in the bowl. Don’t be shy with the dressing; using enough ensures that all the ingredients are coated and flavorful.
Step 7
Gently toss everything together until the noodles and vegetables are well combined with the dressing. Be careful not to break the noodles. Continue mixing until the dressing coats everything evenly. This step is crucial for the flavors to meld beautifully. Your delicious salad ramen is almost ready!
Step 8
Transfer the salad ramen to a serving plate. Garnish with a small amount of baby greens for a fresh and attractive finish. Enjoy your vibrant and tasty salad ramen!
