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

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded green cabbage, purple cabbage, shredded carrots, and sliced green onions.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss everything together until evenly coated.

Step 5

Let the coleslaw sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the noodles to soften slightly.

Step 6

Serve immediately for a crunchy texture, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours if a slightly softer texture is preferred.
