• 1 packet Uncooked ramen noodles, crumbled

📝 Instructions

7 steps

1. In a small bowl, make the dressing by whisking together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, vegetable oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Set the dressing aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, shredded chicken breast, sliced green onions, and toasted slivered almonds.

3. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and lightly toast the crumbled ramen noodles until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes. Allow them to cool before adding to the coleslaw mix.

4. Pour the prepared dressing over the coleslaw mixture and toss everything together until evenly coated.

5. Add the toasted ramen noodles just before serving to maintain their crunchiness, and toss lightly to combine.

6. Transfer the coleslaw to a serving bowl or platter and garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.

7. Serve immediately as a main dish or as a side. Enjoy!
