This Asian-style coleslaw gets even more fantastic crunch from the addition of dehydrated ramen noodles. Roasted in the oven, the noodles become caramelized, adding tons of flavor to this salad. As a result, the recipe below isn't just a side salad; it's a complete vegetarian meal.
The base for this salad is super easy if you rely on a store-bought coleslaw mix. Choose basic coleslaw or a broccoli slaw for more flavor and vitamins. Adding raw scallions and edamame lends even more Asian flair. Serve your favorite Asian hot sauce on the side for a bit more flavor.
