Updated on Oct 27, 2012

This salad is a great accompaniment to grilled/bbq meats, or to bring to a pot luck. The taste is a unique balance of toasty-nutty, sweet, and sour.

How To Make asian coleslaw-(with ramen noodles)

  • Step 1
    TOAST ALMONDS AND SESAME SEEDS: Heat oven to 350. Place almonds and sesame seeds separately into pie pans/cake pans. Bake for 5-7 minutes just until light golden. Take care to not burn them...keep close watch after 5 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Step 2
    Slice green onions thinly. Prep cabbage/carrot if not using coleslaw mix. Remove soup/seasoning packet from noodles and reserve. Break noodles into small pieces. (I use a gallon size zip bag and break up by hand)
  • Step 3
    In a mixing cup with a small fork or small whisk, measure oil, vinegar, sugar, and soup/seasoning packet and combine.
  • Step 4
    COMBINE INGREDIENTS: Place coleslaw mix into bowl, mix in nuts/seeds, green onions and broken ramen noodles. Pour dressing over and refrigerate 30 minutes before serving.
