In my grandmother’s salon, the recipe for this broccoli slaw was passed through for many years. She brought it to each church dinner. Every Thanksgiving and Christmas, it was served.

I use toasted sesame oil, seasoned rice vinegar, Swerve for the sugar (sugar free), lemon pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, a little hot chili oil..I don’t toast the Ramen and don’t see the need for butter? Been making this for decades..oh, and pumpkin seeds if I have them
My favorite salad for family and friend get togethers. I used the chicken packet and extra soy sauce to replace the discontinued oriental packet. Definitely need to let it sit after adding the dressing in the icebox for several hours to develop the flavor. I add the ramen and nuts or pepitos after browning them in a skillet with butter. Mix in to salad just before serving. Optional addition is dried cranberries.
Very tastey and crunchy and healthy
Sadly the Oriental-flavor ramen noodle soup has been discontinued so we had to substitute Chinese Five Spice for the seasoning packet. Followed the rest of the recipe and we did not like it. Also did not like the noodles roasted in butter. Nor did we like the crunch of the noodles. We won’t be making this again. But thanks anyway.
I loved it !! It was easy and very tasty. And now I have a great salad dressing recipe as well. My husband was a fan as well ☺️
we loved this salad! Will be a favorite for a long time. thanks for this recipe!
Made only a few adjustments based on other reviews. Heated crunchies on stovetop rather than oven and used half sesame oil and half EVOO instead of vegetable oil. Absolutely delicious!
Subbed roasted sunflower seeds for sesame seeds. Sooo nummy!
2nd time making this. Simply love it.
I’ve made this salad many times and never stray from the exact recipe. It’s delicious and always a crowd pleaser.
Solid Asian slaw recipe. I probably didn’t let it sit long enough, so will try that next time. Definitely worth making, went great with pork bbq
We really enjoyed this tonight for dinner with a chicken breast on top. I incorporated several suggestions from other reviewers and made the following changes: used a combo of red wine vinegar, rice wine vinegar and apple cider vinegars, also combined olive oil, salad oil and sesame oil, added minced garlic and fresh ginger (lightly sauteed) to the broccoli slaw and green onion combination, used sesame seeds and sunflower seeds along with the sliced almonds, used brown sugar instead of white, used only 1 packet of ramen noodles and had much left over. I didn’t mix the ramen noodle mixture with the dressing, as I was afraid of it making the crispy, crunchy items mushy. Just sprinkled some into the broccoli mixture and on top of the chicken breast. Many additions, I know, but it resulted in a wonderful flavored salad and dressing. Drizzled some extra dressing over the chicken which I placed on top of this delicious salad. What a fresh and flavorful meal on a hot Summer night! Oh, one more thing, I didn’t use butter, but used sesame oil instead with a small pat of butter to cook the crispy, crunchy items. Then cooked my chicken breast in a bit of sesame oil to continue the theme. Yum!
Absolutely love this recipe! I’ve made it multiple times and it has become a household favorite. I recommend you add chicken for some extra protein.
I make this salad frequently. It is easy and delicious! It is ok to add the ramen noodles when you serve it if there are 4 or more eating. If you live by yourself and have leftovers just add the noodles as you eat the salad. It will keep for 2 or 3. That way the ramen noodles will stay crisp.
This is now a go to for my family, especially when bringing a dish to potluck. EVERYONE loves it! I even take leftovers for lunch. Excellent recipe.
Too sweet! Otherwise would be tasty-if I try it again I’d omit the sugar.
Delicious! A big hit at a potluck party.
I made mine exactly as the recipe says the first time. While it really was delicious, I didn’t see any reason to add butter when toasting the ramen, almonds and sesame seeds. So now I don’t, and it is my go to recipe for any summertime cookout.
Very good and my clients loved this. Next time I will leave out the ramen noodles because it was more trouble than is worth. Maybe I’ll fry some wonton strips instead. Salad and dressing were wonderful!
Love it and so does my family!
Made this recipe double as a holiday side and there were no leftovers. Four teenagers helped devour it and hubby said definitely to add to the list to make again! Easy to get the bagged broccoli slaw at the grocery too. I subbed sunflower seeds for the sesame since we had an allergy in the family and they were super! Also did not have the apple cider vinegar but did have some cherry balsamic vinegar. I think any fruity vinegar would work to magnify the sweet and sour flavor you’re going for and the crunch of the raw broccoli, nuts, and noodles was outstanding. Will make this one over and over.
