For a richer flavor, toast the sunflower seeds and almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly golden before adding them to the coleslaw. Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar and vinegar to your liking. Some people prefer a tangier coleslaw, while others like it sweeter. If you don't have rice vinegar, you can substitute apple cider vinegar or white vinegar. To prevent the coleslaw from becoming too soggy, wait until just before serving to add the dressing. For a vegetarian option, use vegetable-flavored ramen noodles.
