Ingredient Info and Substitute Suggestions
SLAW – A bagged broccoli slaw mix makes this salad so easy. It’s typically a combination of red cabbage, broccoli stems, and carrots all chopped uniformly. If you really wanted, you could absolutely chop everything up yourself instead!
DRESSING – A combination of salad oil, white vinegar, and granulated sugar is all you need to make the dressing. Olive oil and avocado oil are great salad oil options, and you can easily substitute the white vinegar for rice wine vinegar if preferred!
How to Make Asian Broccoli Slaw
- Empty bag of slaw into a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk together the oil, vinegar, and sugar.
- Add remaining ingredients to the slaw and toss together.
- Add dressing and toss until well coated.
Frequently Asked Questions & Expert Tips
Yes, absolutely. You can prepare your Asian broccoli slaw a day in advance and store it, covered, in the refrigerator. I would suggest holding off on the ramen and the sesame sticks until you are ready to serve so they don’t get soggy.
Store leftovers in an airtight container kept in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tasty additions would include chopped nuts, sesame seeds, ginger, or a few shakes of soy sauce. Feel free to play around with what you add!
Serving Suggestions
Serve your Asian broccoli slaw with spicy oven fried chicken, fish tacos, or grilled shrimp to name a few! This salad is best enjoyed chilled. Personally, I like to let it rest in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours to allow the dressing to mingle with the other ingredients. Enjoy!

The recipes on this blog are tested with a conventional gas oven and gas stovetop. It’s important to note that some ovens, especially as they age, can cook and bake inconsistently. Using an inexpensive oven thermometer can assure you that your oven is truly heating to the proper temperature. If you use a toaster oven or countertop oven, please keep in mind that they may not distribute heat the same as a conventional full sized oven and you may need to adjust your cooking/baking times. In the case of recipes made with a pressure cooker, air fryer, slow cooker, or other appliance, a link to the appliances we use is listed within each respective recipe. For baking recipes where measurements are given by weight, please note that results may not be the same if cups are used instead, and we can’t guarantee success with that method.
