1. Toast the ramen noodles: In a large skillet over medium heat, add broken ramen noodles and toast for about 5 minutes until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
2. Prepare the vegetables: Slice the cabbage, shred the carrots, and chop the green onions. Combine them in a large bowl.
3. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar (or honey), minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
4. Assemble the salad: Add cooled toasted noodles to the vegetable mixture along with sliced almonds and sesame seeds. Pour dressing over the top and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
5. Let sit for about 10-15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
