Asian Slaw Recipe

This asian slaw recipe is made with the chinese style chow mein noodles used for making casseroles or soups. The can of chop suey vegetables is an easy way to add bean sprouts, baby corn, bamboo shoots and water chestnuts if you don't want to buy them all seperately.

Asian coleslaw is great as a side dish or a full meal as it has many tasty, wholesome ingredients. The noodles will become soft with time but the seeds and nuts will keep the salad crunchy.
