Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

dressing:
1 cabbage, coarsely shredded
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 pkg. ramen noodles, broken
2 tbsp. sesame seeds (I use sunflower)
1 c. slivered almonds
1/4 c. cider vinegar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp soy sauce

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350. Mix seeds, nuts, butter and ramen and spread on cookie sheet. Bake, turning, until brown. Boil dressing ingredients for 1 minute, then let cool. Combine all ingredients before serving.

Tips:

For a creamy coleslaw, use mayonnaise or sour cream as the dressing base. For a lighter coleslaw, use a vinegar-based dressing.
Shred the cabbage and carrots finely for a classic coleslaw texture. For a more crunchy coleslaw, shred them more coarsely.
Add other vegetables to your coleslaw, such as shredded broccoli, cauliflower, or bell pepper.
Add some chopped nuts or seeds to your coleslaw for extra crunch and flavor.
Season your coleslaw with salt and pepper to taste.
Chill your coleslaw for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
