Susie's Fumi Sumi Salad:

Susie's Sumi Salad

Dressing Double Recipe (for party of 20-25;...2 large heads of cabbage)
2 t. salt
2 t. pepper
1 c. oil
2/3 c. sugar
3/4 c. seasoned rice vinegar
Few Splashes sesame oil

Dressing -- Single recipe
whisk together:
1 t. salt
1 t. pepper
1/2 c. oil (maybe 1/8-1/4 c. more oil if the head of cabbage is huge)
4 T. sugar
6 T. seasoned rice vinegar
Top Ramen noodles seasoning packet (Mary Ann does not use. It has MSG!)
Splash sesame oil if you have it handy

Toss dressing 1/2 hour before serving with:
1 green cabbage, shredded
One bunch green onions
4 oz. sliced almonds (toasted in the oven)
4 oz. sunflower seeds (toasted in the oven or use dry roasted from jar)
2 packages of uncooked Top Ramen noodles (broken up) (you can toast them a little in the oven if you like)

We started calling this "Trash bag salad" because when you make more than one batch it is easier to chop up the cabbage and onions and put it in a 33 gallon trash bag, add the broken up noodles, nuts, then pour the dressing in, toss around, cut off a bottom corner and pour into the serving bowl.

Note: when I make this for a big crowd I use baggies to measure batches of the salad. You stuff chopped cabbage in a gallon size baggie, stuffed green onion in a sandwich baggie, And the toasted almond and top Ramen noodles in a sandwich baggie. Then you just dump the three bags in a toss it with dressing and you’re good to go until the next batch
