Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Shredded cabbage (coleslaw mix)
- 1 cup Shredded carrots
- 1 packet Chicken-flavored instant ramen noodles
- 1 cup Sliced almonds
- 1 cup Sunflower seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Open the ramen noodle packet and set aside the seasoning packet for later. Break the raw ramen noodles into small bite-sized pieces.
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the ramen noodle pieces, sliced almonds, and sunflower seeds until golden and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, and sliced green onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, granulated sugar, sesame oil, salt, black pepper, and the chicken-flavored seasoning packet from the ramen noodles until the sugar is dissolved and the dressing is well emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to coat evenly.
Add the toasted ramen noodle mixture to the coleslaw just before serving to maintain crunchiness.
Serve immediately as a side dish or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
