Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons white sugar
• ¼ cup distilled white vinegar
• 5 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes

• 4 green onions (white part only)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Wash, rinse and dry lettuce leaves; cut into bite-size pieces and place in a salad bowl. Slice the white parts of the green onions lengthwise into long thin strips (if they curl as you slice them, they are perfectly thin); add the sliced onions to the salad bowl.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, white sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.

Step 3

Directly before serving, pour the dressing over the lettuce and green onions in the salad bowl and toss to coat.
