Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 packs ramen noodles Toasted for crunch
  • 4 cups coleslaw mix
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds Toasted for enhanced flavor
  • 3 pieces green onions, chopped For freshness
Dressing Ingredients

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a dry skillet, over medium heat, add the ramen noodles. Toss them gently until they become golden and crunchy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and allow them to cool.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the coleslaw mix and add the cooled, toasted ramen noodles, sliced almonds, and chopped green onions. Toss gently to mix.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, salt, and pepper until the sugar is dissolved.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is well-coated.
Serving
  1. This salad is best enjoyed immediately; however, for enhanced flavors, refrigerate for up to an hour before serving.

Notes

Serve in a large bowl, garnished with additional sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Pairs well with cucumber mint lemonade or Sauvignon Blanc. Best for picnics or casual gatherings.
