Asian Ramen Noodle Broccoli Slaw

This Asian Ramen Noodle Broccoli Slaw is an amazing dish to make when you’re in the mood to shake things up a little.  You know what I mean, in those moments you realize that it’s time to refresh your side dish menu and take a break from serving the same ole combos.  It’s dressed with a sweet and tangy dressing that just gets better and better the longer it sits. To me, going the extra mile and taking time to toast the ramen noodles before tossing them with the broccoli slaw adds an incredible nuttiness and depth of flavor, and the crunch enhances the texture overall.

I think this slaw is perfection when served alongside a grilled steak, BBQ chicken, ribs or pork with a baked potato or rice pilaf.  It’s also wonderful served with any Asian inspired entree.  I prefer to make the broccoli slaw several hours in advance of serving and then add the toasted ramen noodles just before placing the slaw into a serving bowl so they will maintain their crunchy texture.  Toss in a few salted peanuts and it’s time to for both you and the broccoli slaw to chill. It’s an easy and colorful side dish that will add just the right twist to your side dish repertoire.
