In less than an hour, you may have noodles, vegetables, and tender beef strips with a tasty sauce. My lo mein noodles come from a nearby Asian grocery store. If you can’t find fresh lo mein noodles, feel free to substitute linguine. In my Instant Pot®, I prefer to steam the vegetables and cook the meat quickly.

Reviews
As abase starting point it was fantastic. However, I subbed dijon mustard for the yellow for a better back flavor base. I also added taco seasoning and hot sauce for a nice kick. This recipe is for at least 2 heads of cabbage (or 3-4 bags of mix). Adjust accordingly
I adjusted the recipe to make 4 servings. It called for 3 T of sugar which made it way too sweet. I’ll try 1 T next time. I also used celery salt instead of celery seed & salt bc we don’t like the small seeds in our coleslaw.
Fantastic! Made this along with Boston butt smoked pulled pork. Very good and love the sweetness!
Changed to make for serving of 6. The only changes I made was, I used rice vinegar instead of white. I added 1 tsp of (trader joes everything but the bagel seasoning) I added the dressing to a 16 oz bag of coleslaw. Kids loved the flavor and the creaminess.
I make it a habit to try “MeeMaw” recipes because they are usually perfect. Excellent coleslaw dressing Ms. MeeMaw.
Far better than store bought!
Came out super tasty. I added some Dijon (next time I might go all Dijon) and chipotle paste (will add more next time). Also great on kale and Brussels sprout slaw, with or without bacon crumbles.
If you only have one head of cabbage DO NOT use the full recipe for the sauce. It makes way too much. Half the recipe, at least, maybe reduce it by 2/3.
Made it as is no changes everyone I have made it for loves it.
Will definitely make this again
I didn’t add as much mustard but did add more apple cider vinegar, the kind that I’m supposed to be using for weight loss, ha! I’ve been trying to find a recipe that was as close as possible, to the one that a dear friend/boss of mine (who I miss so much) used to make. Years ago after eating Betsy’s coleslaw, I realized I liked it an there just wasn’t any other. An what’s really ironic is that Betsy’s grandkids called her Meemaw too! That’s why this recipe caught my attention. Betsy didn’t really measure her ingredients for coleslaw. So I’m glad I found this recipe. I can make it taste almost like hers! Thanks so much for sharing! Since I found this recipe, I’ve been making it way too often. Super good!
Delicious! I adjusted it to 6 servings and worked perfect for a bag of cabbage mix
I did not follow the recipe when I should have! I was afraid it was too much sugar (it’s not) and added some balsamic vinegar (don’t, it’s too strong). Next time I will stick to the recipe!
Huge hit at both my wedding and our 4th of July BBQ. I had to cut the quantity down for the BBQ, but easy to do. Thanks for a great recipe!!
I saved this years ago and it’s my go-to recipe for coleslaw. I also use the sauce to make a fun pasta salad (cooked pasta, sliced cucumbers, red onion slivers and black olive slices). Easy to scale, almost as easy as opening a jar of store-bought dressing.
Only change I made was reduced the salt by half. I have made it several times I wouldn’t use any other recipe.
Delicious, easy to make and easier to eat! Goes really well with pulled pork. I use organic cane sugar and organic cider vinegar with “mother”, this gives it a nice tang. Thanks for this recipe.
Absolutely the best yet. Just don’t add all the dressing at once.
without the mustard – much better!
It is very flavorful and easy to make . I love it.
This is good, thanks!
