Ingredients

• 6 cups Coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
• 2 tbsp Unsalted sunflower seeds
• 1 cup Sliced almonds
• 1 pack Instant ramen noodles (dry, crumbled, no seasoning)

• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tbsp Granulated sugar
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Sesame oil (optional, for extra flavor)

Directions

Step 1

In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Step 2

In the same skillet, lightly toast the crumbled ramen noodles for 1-2 minutes until golden and crisp. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, sliced green onions, toasted almonds, sunflower seeds, and toasted ramen noodles.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, low-sodium soy sauce, olive oil, granulated sugar, garlic powder, black pepper, and sesame oil if using, until the sugar is dissolved and the dressing is smooth.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the coleslaw mixture and toss well to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 6

Let the coleslaw sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7
