Ingredients
For the dressing:
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 3 tablespoons of rice vinegar
- ¼ cup of water
- 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar or agave
- 1 teaspoon of ginger powder
- 2 teaspoons of garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon of toasted sesame oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup of cilantro, chopped (optional)
For the salad:
- 3 (3-ounce) packs of dry instant ramen, crushed into small pieces
- 3 cups of thinly sliced green cabbage
- 3 cups of thinly sliced red cabbage
- 2 cups of shredded carrots
- 1 cup of thinly sliced green onions
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, rice vinegar, water, juice of ½ lemon, sugar, ginger powder, garlic powder, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well, taste, and adjust any seasoning or lemon juice. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the crushed ramen noodles and add 3 tablespoons of dressing. Mix well and then add both cabbages, carrots, and green onions. Add the remainder of the dressing and mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Enjoy immediately for a crunchy salad or store in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight for the noodles to get softer after they absorb the moisture from the dressing. The longer the salad sits, the more flavorful it gets.

- Use a store-bought cabbage blend: A great way to save time with this side dish is to use a store-bought blend of red and green cabbage or a cabbage and carrot coleslaw mix.
- Taste the dressing: Remember to taste the dressing before adding the veggies, and adjust the flavors with more salt, pepper, and/or lemon juice as needed.
- Toast the noodles: Toss the crushed ramen noodles in a drizzle of oil, then toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 300ºF until they’re golden and toasty.
- Make it ahead of time: Remember that the longer the salad sits, the more flavorful it will be. Assemble it a few hours before serving for an even tastier result!
