Attention all foodies! Are you tired of the same old coleslaw at every summer cookout? Shake things up with this innovative and mouthwatering recipe for Sesame Ramen Slaw.
This unique twist on a classic dish will leave your taste buds dancing and your guests asking for the recipe. Made with ramen noodles, crunchy veggies, and a homemade dressing with an Asian flair, this coleslaw is sure to be a hit at any gathering.
This Sesame Ramen Slaw only takes a few minutes to whip up, especially if you have a food processor to do your grating.
But, it should sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors blend.
Ingredients for Sesame Ramen Slaw
- cabbage (usually green, but purple could be pretty)
- carrots
- green onions
- slivered almonds
- chicken-flavor ramen noodles
- sesame oil
- vegetable oil
- rice vinegar or cider vinegar
- reduced-sodium soy sauce
- honey or sugar
I happened to have a large kohlrabi in the fridge the other day and decided to swap it for the cabbage in this recipe. It gave this a nice extra crunch, but cabbage is equally delicious.
