Cabbage: Simple thinly sliced cabbage

Green Onion: I use green onion stalks for flavour.
Sauces: Chili sauce, black pepper sauce, chilli paste, Soy sauce, rice vinegar

Noodles: Instant spicy ramen noodles or rice noodles. You can use gluten-free noodles as well. I like to use Samyang spicy noodles for this sometimes. To make super spicy and hot ramen use Samyang 2x spicy noodles. This dish turns out well with any of these.
