Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 2 medium Carrots
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 cups Sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 pack Instant ramen noodles
- 0.25 cups Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Thinly slice the green cabbage into thin shreds and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or julienne them. Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the cabbage.
Finely chop the green onions and add them to the mixing bowl.
Break the instant ramen noodles into small bite-sized pieces. Set the flavor packet aside for another use.
Heat a dry skillet over low-medium heat and toast the sliced almonds and sesame seeds until lightly golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove them from the heat and set aside to cool.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper until the sugar dissolves and the dressing is well combined.
Add the toasted almonds, sesame seeds, and broken ramen noodles to the cabbage mixture.
Pour the dressing over the coleslaw mixture and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
Let the coleslaw sit for at least 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to develop and the noodles to soften slightly.
Serve immediately or refrigerate and serve chilled. Toss again before serving to redistribute the dressing.
