Get the toast or crunchy topping ready:
Crush the Noodles: In a dish or within the package, break the raw ramen noodles into tiny, bite-sized pieces. Avoid boiling them.
Toast: On a rimmed baking sheet, equally distribute the sunflower seeds, slivered almonds, and smashed ramen noodles.
Bake/Toast: Bake the noodles and nuts in an oven set to 350°F (175°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring halfway through, or until they are aromatic and golden brown. As an alternative, you may toast them over medium heat in a pan.
Cool: Move the blend onto a platter and let it cool fully. For the most crunch, this is essential.
Prepare the dressing:
Combine all the dressing ingredients (oil, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, and contents of the two saved ramen spice packets) in a medium dish or jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Mix the dressing thoroughly and whisk or shake rapidly until the sugar dissolves.
Put the Slaw Together:
Add the cut green onions and the coleslaw mix to a very big bowl.
Stir the crispy ramen and nut mixture into the slaw right before serving.
Dress and Serve:
Drizzle the slaw mixture with the dressing.
To ensure that every ingredient is equally coated, gently toss everything.
To get the ideal crunch, serve right away. The ramen noodles and cabbage will get softer the longer the salad is left with the dressing.
