Ingredients

• 16 oz coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
• 2 packs ramen noodles (uncooked, no seasoning)
• 0.5 cup slivered almonds
• 0.25 cup sunflower seeds (optional)
• 3 stalks green onions (sliced thinly)
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 0.3 cup rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 0.25 cup sesame seeds (optional)
• 0 black pepper (to taste)

Directions

Step 1

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, slivered almonds, sunflower seeds (if using), and sliced green onions.

Step 2

2. Open the packs of ramen noodles and set aside the seasoning packets (you will not need them for this recipe). Break the noodles into small bite-sized pieces and add them to the coleslaw mixture.

Step 3

3. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, rice vinegar, granulated sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

4. Pour the dressing over the coleslaw mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated.

Step 5

5. For best results, let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and soften the noodles slightly.

Step 6

6. Before serving, sprinkle sesame seeds (if using) over the top for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

7. Serve chilled and enjoy!
