Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (shredded) Green cabbage
- 2 cups (shredded) Red cabbage
- 1 cup (shredded) Carrots
- 3 stalks (sliced) Green onions
- 1 cup (toasted) Slivered almonds
- 1 pack (broken into small pieces, uncooked) Ramen noodles
- 2 tablespoons (toasted) Sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Sugar
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon (to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (to taste) Black pepper
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, and sliced green onions. Toss them together to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a dry skillet over medium heat, lightly toast the slivered almonds and sesame seeds until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a small bowl or a jar with a lid, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until the sugar is dissolved and the dressing is well-emulsified. If using a jar, shake well to combine.
Right before serving, add the toasted almonds, toasted sesame seeds, and broken ramen noodle pieces to the cabbage mixture. Drizzle the dressing over the coleslaw and toss gently until everything is coated evenly.
Serve immediately for maximum crunch and freshness. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, although the crunchiness may diminish.
