Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by cooking the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Usually, it’s just a quick boil for about 3-4 minutes. Once they’re done, drain and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking.
- 2
While the noodles are cooking, prep your veggies! In a large bowl, combine the red cabbage, carrots, red bell pepper, green onions, and cilantro.
- 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, lime juice, maple syrup, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili flakes (if using). This dressing is where the magic happens, so give it a taste and adjust if you need to.
- 4
Once the noodles are cooled and drained, add them to the bowl of veggies. Pour the dressing over everything and toss gently to coat.
- 5
Serve immediately, garnishing with chopped peanuts on top. If you’re not serving it right away, you can keep the slaw in the fridge, but I recommend adding the peanuts just before serving for that crunch!
