Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 2 packs instant ramen noodles (uncooked, any flavor)
- 0.5 cups sliced almonds
- 4 stalks green onions (sliced)
- 0.25 cups sunflower seeds
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 0.25 cups vegetable oil
- 0.25 cups rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Break the ramen noodles into small pieces and set aside the seasoning packets (you won’t need the seasoning for this recipe).
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the broken ramen noodles and sliced almonds for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, toasted ramen noodles, almonds, sliced green onions, and sunflower seeds.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the soy sauce, vegetable oil, rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until the sugar is dissolved and the dressing is well combined.
Pour the dressing over the coleslaw mixture and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, toss the coleslaw again and adjust seasoning to taste, if necessary. Serve chilled as a side dish or enjoy on its own!
