In a large skillet, melt the butter. Add the crushed noodles and stir constantly until golden, being careful not to burn the noodles. Add the almonds, stirring until they soften slightly. Remove mixture from skillet and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine coleslaw mix and green onions. Add the cooked noodles and almonds and toss to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, oil, vinegar, and soy sauce. Whisk until the mixture is completely combined.
Right before serving, slowly add the dressing to the coleslaw mixture until it has a light even coating. Be careful not to over-dress the salad.
