We love Asian inspired recipes and frequently turn to the take out menu on busy nights. With a combination of store bought potstickers and this Asian broccoli slaw recipe, I can easily toss that take out menu and still get my family a delicious dinner on the table.
I like to pair the Potstickers with a ramen noodle slaw for a quick and easy meal that my whole family loves.. Our favorite version is this broccoli slaw salad which combines broccoli slaw with an Asian inspired dressing for a delicious, crunchy companion to the potstickers.

Asian Broccoli Slaw Recipe Ingredients
- Broccoli Slaw – Pre-cut broccoli slaw from the grocery store is a time saver and works great for this recipe.
- Oriental Ramen – You will use the noodles and the seasoning packet in the recipe. You can easily substitute any flavor of packaged ramen that you prefer.
- Slivered Almonds
- Fresh Cilantro
- Rice Vinegar
- Sesame Oil – Toasted sesame oil is great here.

You can also make a classic Asian slaw salad using coleslaw versus broccoli slaw if you prefer. This recipe is my favorite. I love the extra crunch that the broccoli slaw gives though.
How to Make Broccoli Slaw
This recipe is so easy to make. Start by tossing the salad ingredients together in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing. Then, add the dressing to the salad bowl and toss to combine.
You can make this salad up to 2 days ahead of time. However, I would recommend leaving out the ramen noodles until about 15 minutes before you are ready to serve the salad.
