Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bag (10-12 oz) broccoli coleslaw mix
- 3 oz uncooked oriental ramen noodles (discard seasoning packet)
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots (optional, for color)
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (toasted)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar or rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Place the uncooked ramen noodles in a zip-top bag. Crush them into small pieces using your hands or a rolling pin.
- In a large bowl, combine the broccoli slaw mix, shredded carrots (if using), and green onions.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, ground mustard, and pepper until the sugar dissolves. This is your dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the vegetable and noodle mixture. Toss well to coat everything evenly.
- Stir in the crushed ramen noodles and sesame seeds. Mix gently.
- Cover the slaw and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to blend and the noodles to soften slightly.
Notes
- Discard the ramen seasoning packet; you only need the noodles for crunch.
- Toasting the sesame seeds intensifies their nutty flavor.
- You can add sunflower seeds or slivered almonds for extra crunch.
- Make this a day ahead for best flavor melding.
