Cole slaw is one of those foods that comes in a dozen different varieties. It can be sweet or dill, mayo or vinegar based, with or without added vegetables. This is a recipe given to me by a friend and is one of our favorites.
CAST OF CHARACTERS
1 small head of green cabbage, shredded
1/2 to 1 cup red cabbage, shredded (optional, but it really makes it pretty)
(OR you can use prepackaged cole slaw mix)
1 tablespoons sesame seeds
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1 package Ramen noodles, seasoning pack removed, crumbled
3-4 green onions, white part only, sliced thinly on a diagonal
1 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
Melt the butter in a skillet. Add the Ramen noodles, nuts, and seeds, and brown. Strain onto a paper towel and let cool.
Mix the shredded cabbage with the sliced onions in a large bowl. I didn’t have red cabbage on hand so I omitted it this time.
Whisk the sugar, vegetable oil, and soy sauce until thoroughly mixed. (Putting everything into a jar with a tight fitting lid and shaking vigorously works really well.) Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well.
This is a great recipe to carry on picnics since it doesn’t have mayo in it.
