Chinese Cole Slaw Recipe?

[mskay]

I had this at a party a few weeks ago, but wasn't able to get the recipe. I know it had lettuce and nuts but I don't know what else. Has anyone else ever heard of this and has the recipe? It's REALLY good!

Thanks,

MsKay

Never had chinese cole slaw - but I do love chinese food and asian flavors. Found these recipes and I hope one of them will help you out.

Chinese Cole Slaw Salad
1 med cabbage -- shredded
2 med carrot -- shredded
2 pkgs top ramen noodles, oriental or chicken -crumbled
4 tbsps almonds -- sliced
1/2 c cilantro -- chopped
4 tbsps sesame seeds -- toasted

DRESSING:
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp pepper
3 tbsps sugar
1/4 c salad oil
1/4 c vinegar
1/4 c sesame oil
1/2 tsp chili oil
1 tbsp hoisin sauce

Prepare salad dressing (one of the seasoning packets from the top ramen can be added for a variation). Chill. Mix salad ingredients and toss with the dressing just before serving so noodles don't soften.


Here's a slightly different variation:

Chinese Cole Slaw


Slaw:---
1/2 Head cabbage -- shredded
1/2 Cup chicken -- cooked and chopped
1 Bunch green onions -- chopped
1 Tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1/2 Cup toasted almonds
1 Package Ramen Noodles -- crushed
1/2 Cup Celery -- Chopped

Dressing:--
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 Teaspoon salt
1/2 Teaspoon pepper
3 Tablespoons vinegar
1/2 Cup salad oil

Dressing: Mix dressing ingredients in a small jar and store in refrigerator until ready to serve.

Salad: Layer cabbage, celery, green onions and chicken; set aside. Add toasted sesame seeds and toasted almonds and Ramen noodles just before adding dressing. Toss and serve immediately for best flavor and "crunch."
