 This salad is prepared in three steps, the ingredients are listed for each
 step.
 
 Step 1.
 1 med. head of nappa cabbage, 1 bunch of green onions. Rinse cabbage, slice
 and chop onions and cabbage. Combine these two ingredients in a large bowl and
 chill until you are ready to prepare the rest of the salad.
 
 Step 2.
 2 1/2 ounces of sesame seeds, 1 pack of sliced almonds (small), 2 packages of
 Oodles of Noodle Soup), 2 cloves of garlic (or more if you want), oil.  Bread
 noodles into tiny pieces while still in the bags, remove the seasoning pack
 and throw away. Saute the broken noodles, sesame seeds, and garlic in oil
 until lightly browned. Add salt and pepper. Store in the refrigerator.
 
 Step 3.
 2 Tablespoons soy sauce, 3/4 cup rice wine vinegar, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup
 oil. Combine and boil for no more than one minute. Sotre in refrigerator. Just
 before serving combine all sections and toss gently. I love mandarin oranges
 added. You may also add cooked chicken.
