Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons white sugar
• 5 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
• 1 head red leaf lettuce
• 4 green onions (white part only)
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup distilled white vinegar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Cut lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place into a salad bowl. Thinly slice green onion whites lengthwise into long strips; if they curl as you slice them, they are perfectly thin. Add green onions to the salad bowl.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Just before serving, pour dressing over lettuce and green onions; toss until well coated.
