Asian Coleslaw

This is my husband's co-worker, Shelly's, recipe.  It's a great side dish for Asian entrees as well as BBQ entrees.  It's a great thing to bring to a pot luck dinner.

Ingredients:
*1 lb. shredded cabbage coleslaw mix
*1 package (3 oz.) chicken Raman noodles
*1/2 cup sunflower seeds
*1/2 cup sliced almonds
*4 green onions, chopped
*1/2 cup olive oil
*3 Tablespoons white vinegar
*1/2 teaspoon salt
*2 Tablespoons sugar
*1/2 teaspoon black pepper
*1 Tablespoon soy sauce

Directions:
Preheat oven to 250 degrees.  Place sunflower seeds and almonds on a cookie sheet.  Toast for a few minutes.  Take out as soon as you smell them.  Set aside to cool.

Crush Raman noodles.  Set aside the seasoning packet for later.  In a large bowl, combine cabbage, Raman noodles, toasted sunflower seeds and almonds, and green onions.

In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, salt, sugar, black pepper, soy sauce, and seasoning packet from the Raman noodles.  Whisk together well.

Immediately poor dressing over salad.  Toss to coat.  Chill until ready to serve.  When ready to serve, stir well beforehand.
