Mom’s Asian Slaw

There is alot of substituting you can do with this recipe.  It all depends on what you have around and what you like.

  • 2 packages of ramen noodles (I use chicken flavor, because I use some of the flavoring in the dressing)
  • 1 pound of cole slaw mix
  • 1 bunch of scallions sliced thin
  • 3/4 cup canola oil
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup raisins or craisins
  • 2 Tbsp sugar (+ or – to taste)

Crunchy stuff: (pick a few 3 )

  • slivered almonds *
  • sunflower seeds *
  • flax seeds
  • pumpkin seeds
  • pistachio nuts – chopped
  • toasted sesame seeds
  • black oriental sesame seeds (looks GREAT in salad) *
  • wasabi peas

Break up ramen noodles while still in bags. 
Place noodles on bottom of large salad bowl
Top with raisins, then cole slaw mix, then scallions – in that order.
Add the crunchy stuff you chose on top.
Mix well – oil, vinegar, sugar and a bit of the seasoning from one packet of ramen.  Pour over top.  Let it sit for at least an hour, or even overnight.

Toss all together and serve.

The noodles on the bottom will soften with the dressing.  This is why you do not toss right away.

* means I always use these

Enjoy!  I love you!
