Ingredients
Units
Scale
- One 14 ounce package coleslaw mix
- 3 ounces instant ramen noodles packages with seasoning (spicy chicken or vegetable flavor are my favorites)
- 3 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 11 ounces canned mandarin oranges, drained
Dressing
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons plain rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- Make the dressing: Put all the ingredients for the dressing in a bowl and whisk until dressing has emulsified. Set aside.
- Toast the almonds: In a small pan over low medium heat, toast sesame seeds and sliced almonds for a couple of minutes until they turn golden brown. Transfer to a plate and let cool to room temperature.
- Make the coleslaw: Put coleslaw mix, mandarin oranges, scallions, almonds and sesame seeds in a bowl and break ramen noodles on top using your fingers. Pour dressing over and toss until the salad is well coated.
- Serve: Transfer the salad to a bowl and serve immediately.
Notes
This salad is best enjoyed immediately before the crunchy ramen noodles get soft and mushy. The crunchiness will last about 30 minutes.
