Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables & Nuts

  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Noodles

  • 12 packets instant ramen noodles (without seasoning), crushed

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Prep the Broccoli and Veggies: Wash and chop fresh broccoli into small florets. Shred the carrots and thinly slice the green onions to ensure every bite is evenly flavored and perfectly crunchy.
  2. Crush the Ramen Noodles: Take one or two packets of uncooked ramen noodles without the seasoning packets and gently crush them into smaller pieces to add a delightful crunch to every mouthful.
  3. Make the Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and soy sauce until the dressing is smooth, creamy, and well combined.
  4. Combine All Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, toss together the broccoli, shredded carrots, green onions, slivered almonds, sesame seeds, and crushed ramen noodles. Pour the dressing over and gently mix everything until well coated.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the Oriental Ramen Broccoli Cole Slaw for at least one hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Prep ahead by chopping the vegetables and crushing the ramen noodles a day before for quicker assembly.
  • Add the ramen noodles just before serving if you prefer them extra crispy.
  • Taste the dressing and adjust the amount of vinegar or sugar to suit your preferred tanginess or sweetness.
  • Double the recipe for larger gatherings; the salad stores well in the fridge.
  • Lightly toast the almonds or sesame seeds to deepen their flavor and add a warm aroma.
