How to Make Asian Ramen Cole Slaw Salad

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, and half of the seasoning packet from the ramen noodles.
  2. Add the shredded cabbage, carrots, and red bell pepper to the bowl. Gently toss to coat evenly with the dressing.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. While the slaw chills, coarsely crush the ramen noodles using a rolling pin or a zip-top bag and a mallet. Mix in the sunflower seeds and sliced almonds.
  5. Just before serving, stir in the chopped green onions and the crushed ramen mixture into the chilled coleslaw. Toss gently to combine.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful crunch and flavor!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
