  • Make the Dressing: In a small bowl or mason jar, whisk or shake together the sugar, vegetable oil, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and the ramen seasoning packet until fully blended.

  • Toss and Chill: Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture. Toss everything together until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour so the flavors can soak in and the noodles soften slightly.
  • Add the Crunch: Right before serving, stir in the toasted slivered almonds (if using) for a buttery, nutty finish.
