Ingredients

  • 1 package of beef ramen noodles weighing 3 ounces
  • 2 cups of water, brought to a boil
  • 3 tbsp of olive oil
  • 3 tbsp of apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tbsp of granular no-calorie sucralose sweetener, such as Splenda ®
  • 1 bag of coleslaw mix, weighing 16 ounces
  • 6 green onions, finely chopped
  • ½ cup of sunflower seeds

Step 1

Start by gently placing the ramen noodles in a colander, then break them into quarters for a unique texture. Next, pour some hot boiling water over the noodles to give them a slight softness. Use a fork to delicately separate the noodles and give them some space to breathe. After that, give the noodles a quick rinse with cold water and let them drain gracefully.

Step 2

Now, let's craft a delightful dressing by whisking together the magical flavor packet from the ramen noodles, along with some smooth olive oil, tangy vinegar, and a touch of sweetness in a charming bowl. In a separate large bowl, combine the softened ramen noodles with some vibrant coleslaw mix, freshly chopped green onions, and a sprinkle of sunflower seeds. Gently toss this colorful mixture together to create a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.

Step 3

Drizzle the enchanting dressing over the coleslaw medley and continue to toss with care until every ingredient is lovingly coated in the dressing's embrace. Allow this masterpiece to chill in the refrigerator for about 2 hours to let the flavors mingle and dance together in perfect harmony. When ready, serve this delightful dish to impress your guests with its refreshing and satisfying taste.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Utilize airtight containers to maintain the crunchiness of the cabbage and other veggies in your zesty Asian slaw.
  2. 2. Store the dressing separately from the slaw ingredients to prevent sogginess. Mix them together just before serving to keep the flavors vibrant.
