Coleslaw With An Asian Twist

This recipe was promoted as 'Crack Slaw' because it is so addictive. It was pretty good and worth a try for a coleslaw with a difference.
I'd also consider adding coriander to this dish next time.
I bought flat udon noodles, the original recipe used what I would call '2 Minute Instant Noodles' - they might be worth a try next time. I found the noodles a bit too hard until the dressing softened them.
This was great the next day...and the next day. The flavour seemed to change as the days passed.






Crack Slaw (Asian Cole Slaw)
1 bag cole slaw mix (14oz, or just shy of 400 grams of shredded cabbage and carrots, mixed)
5 scallions, sliced (spring onions)
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 cup slivered almonds
1 package ramen noodles (minus the flavor packs)
dressing:
1/2 cup veg oil
1/4 cup sugar.. i would not add all of that at once.. try half then add to taste.. when it’s too sweet it’s not as crack-like
2 tablespoons soy sauce
throw the sesame, almonds, crunched up ramen noodles and into a pan with butter.. cook till golden
let cool… add mixture and scallions to coleslaw .
