Meanwhile, make the dressing. In a small bowl, combine the vegetable oil, sesame oil, lime zest, lime juice, brown sugar, fish sauce, chili paste, and ginger. Stir until the brown sugar dissolves.

In a large bowl, add the cooked ramen noodles, cabbage, cucumber, bell pepper, green onion, cilantro, and basil. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until everything is fully coated.
