  • If you want an extra crunch on top of your coleslaw, toast the ramen noodles in about a Tbsp. of butter until slightly browned. Cool. Sprinkle the ramen on top of the coleslaw just before serving. (You can skip this step if preferred.)

  • If you don't use all of the dressing at once, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to a month.

Notes

I don't like over-dressed coleslaw. So I only add enough dressing to moisten the coleslaw, as it seems wetter after sitting for an hour. 
This makes enough dressing for about 2 packages of shredded coleslaw (about 10 servings each). If you don't need this much coleslaw, you can still mix up all the dressing and store what you don't need in an air-tight container. Refrigerate the remaining dressing until you need more. It should keep for about a month in the refrigerator. Shake or stir before using.
 If you don't want to buy coleslaw mix, you can also just finely cut up a head of fresh green cabbage and shred a carrot to make your own coleslaw mix. The Amish ladies typically cut up fresh cabbage.
You should try it with the ramen on top to see if you like it. But if your coleslaw sits for a while the ramen will get soggy. So you don't want to put it on until ready to serve.
