I always have ramen noodles around for one of my own recipes, & since I[m always looking for new ways to jazz up our somewhat plain ol' salads, this recipe caught my eye! This very satisfying topping is so easy to make & I know it's great on coleslaw as well as a much less fancy lettuce salad! Definitely worth making again! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
