Ingredients

  • 1 package ramen noodle soup (reserve spice packet for another use)
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds

  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon tamari

Preparation

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Break up the dry ramen noodles into bite-sized pieces, place on an ungreased sheet pan and toss with the almonds and sunflower seeds. Toast in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, just until lightly browned. Set aside to cool.

Transfer the bok choy to a large bowl. Toss the bok choy and scallions with the oils, vinegar, honey, tamari and orange juice. Add the toasted ramen, almonds and sunflower seeds and toss again just before serving.
