Oriental Coleslaw Recipe

Oriental Coleslaw Recipe

I am not a coleslaw lover, so years ago when I was offered a scoop of this Oriental Coleslaw at a Boy Scout get together… well let’s just say I accepted it so as to not hurt her feelings. Two bites in I realized how amazing this slaw was and as I finished off the scoop she gave me I was trying to figure out how to ask for seconds without looking greedy. I was fortunate that she was flattered when I asked for the recipe and I have been making it for family get togethers ever since. I have tweeked the recipe a little as our dietary focus changed, but the overall taste has never been better.

This recipe is perfect for upcoming spring & summer picnics and get togethers. It’s easy to make, travels well and is packed with fiber, protein from the nuts and monounsaturated fatty acids from the olive oil.

  • frozen broccoli (optional & to taste)

  • ⅓ cup white vinegar
  • 3 seasoning packets from the Ramen noodles (optional)
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl mix coleslaw mix, nuts and green onions (optional)
  2. Put the Ramen noodles in a ziploc bag, seal and crush (I hit it with a rolling pin... it's theraputic)
  3. Add Ramen noodles to the mixture

  5. Mix with a spoon or by hand. I find that tossing by hand is more efficient.

    I had this salad or something similar years ago and had forgotten about it. I love to add dried cranberries to my regular coleslaw, so I may try it here too. Also like that it isn’t loaded with mayonnaise, but wondering how high the salt content is.

  19. judy gardner says

    i love regular coleslaw but this sounds great too!

  20. Rosie says

    I got a chuckle out of that. I’ve had it happen to me once in a while, taking an obligatory bite of something, and being consumed with instant passion for it!! This sounds good to me, it caught my eye! I’ve often looked for something a little different with cabbage, this is just perfect!

  21. Caroline G says

    I like adding sesame oil to my oriental salads.

  28. G K says

    I’ve never tried anything but regular coleslaw. I love the addition of Ramen noodles.

  29. Jo-Ann Brightman says

    I like this recipe with the crushed ramen noodles in the cole slaw. I might just add a little sesame oil to it.

  30. katie says

    Yum! We make a beef and broccoli slow cooker meal and always feel like it needs a side and this may just work with some rice on the side too.
