What's for Dinner?

  One of my favorite salads is the Asian Coleslaw (aka Ramen Noodle Salad). So for dinner tonight I'll be making up a big side of that to pair nicely with some Asian style meatballs. If you can't tell we're doing an Asian theme for dinner tonight. :P
  This is one of the quickest, easiest and most delicious meals that I make. Let's start with the salad!

Asian Coleslaw

Ingredients:
1 bag coleslaw mix and 1 bag broccoli slaw
green onions finely chopped (approx 1/4 cup or less)
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1 pack ramen noodles (I use the Oriental flavor) broken into small pieces (I also throw them in a pan and toast them slightly, just keep an eye on them cause they don't take long at all)

Dressing: (I just mix this all up in a big measuring cup)
3/4 cup oil
4 tbsp apple cider vinegar
4 tbsp sugar
flavor pack from the ramen noodle package

Now for the super hard instructions: Mix, Pour, Toss and Chill!

And if you thought that was difficult, now it's time for the meatballs.

Asian Meatballs 

Ingredients:
As many meatballs as you would like out of a bag of frozen meatballs (we use turkey meatballs)
3/4 cup Yoshida's marinade
1 clove of garlic, grated

Instructions:
Put ingredients in freezer size zip lock bag and throw in the fridge. (I get it all in the bag in the morning and they are thawed and fully marinated by dinner time.
Use tongs to remove the meatballs (toss the rest of the marinade) and heat them in a frying pan. (approx. 5 minutes)

That's it! And now you know all of my secrets for a quick, easy and delicious meal! People always assume that it has to require more than that, but it doesn't. 

Happy cooking!
