Ingredients

  • 1 16 oz package Deli cole slaw mix with carrot and purple cabbage
  • 4 medium green onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro may adjust to taste
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp granulated garlic or garlic powder
  • 1 tsp garlic salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 3 oz package ramen noodles crushed and toasted [any flavor]
  • 1 1/2 cups cocktail peanuts roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Coleslaw: In a large mixing bowl whisk together the vegetable oil, rice wine vinegar, granulated sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, garlic salt and black pepper to taste.
  • To the bowl add the cole slaw mix, sliced onion and cilantro. Mix until combined.
  • Cover and chill for at least 4 hours.
  • Ramen Noodles: Meanwhile, crush the ramen noodles and spread them in a single layer on a sheet pan. Toast in a preheated 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes until golden and fragrant. Cool completely.
  • Just before serving toss together the Asian slaw with the toasted ramen noodles and peanuts. Mix thoroughly.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. (Reserve some ramen noodles in an airtight container separately to maintain the crispy texture.)

Notes

Use any flavor of Ramen noodles you like, since the packet of seasoning isn't used in this salad and may be discarded.
