Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups shredded green cabbage
- 2 cups shredded purple cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 3 stalks sliced green onions
- 0.5 cups slivered almonds
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- 1 pack instant ramen noodles (uncooked)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, purple cabbage, shredded carrots, and sliced green onions.
Break the uncooked ramen noodles into small bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl along with the slivered almonds and toasted sesame seeds.
In a separate smaller bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, vegetable oil, honey, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Let the coleslaw sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the noodles to soften slightly.
Serve immediately for a crunchy texture, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours if a slightly softer texture is preferred.
