  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup white or rice vinegar

  • 2 bags (32 oz total) coleslaw mix
Instructions
  1. Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Stir in seasoning packets from noodles. Break noodles into small pieces over skillet and stir into butter mixture.
  3. Cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in sesame seed. Cook 2 minutes longer, stirring constantly, until noodles are golden brown. (NOTE: Some noodles may appear quite dark, but it's okay)
