Would give this recipe more stars if I could . . . it's wonderful! I couldn't find any Napa cabbage, so I used extra green & red and didn't add any oil (advice from previous reviews) or cilantro. Added a handful of chow mein noodles before serving. Everyone raved about it, including me!

Good but would change the following--used less of almost everything to my liking: Less Rice vinegar--4 TBLS; Half the oil (and use sesame oil); Less peanut butter--3-4 TBLS (used chunky); Used honey 2 TBLS instead of brown sugar; Less ginger--1 TBLS; Add some kick with red pepper flakes or cayenne or chili sauce with garlic. Add toasted sesame seeds to the top and a little lime. I pureed the dressing before adding the ginger or garlic.

This was good, and easy to make. Very colorful and a light alternative to potato or pasta salads.

Pretty good, but you have to serve the dressing (which is EXCELLENT) when you are going to eat it or it gets too watery, which makes leftovers difficult and taking it places hard.

This was a very good recipe. The first time I tried it, I followed the recipe. The second time around, I omitted the vegetable oil, as I find that the peanut butter (I only used half of the recommended amount) has enough fat in it to emulsify the dressing . I also added a dash of sesame oil and 3 big pinches of sesame seeds. After tasting the dressing, I thought it lacked a little on the sour note, so I added the juice of 1/2 lime. I made enough for 4 portions. I didn't have napa cabbage both times, so I used iceberg lettuce that I soaked in ice cold water for 1/2 hour to make it really crispy. It added a really nice texture along with the other cabbages. Will continue to make this again and again!

Awesome recipe so glad I tried this! I brought it to a party and it was a hit! I did modify per other reviews with less oil, with water and using a little peanut oil/hot peanut oil. I also used more ginger and cilantro and added crushed red pepper and topped with cashews and mandrin oranges. I do think this recipes is great just alone as I have made it that way as well. Thank you so much!!

great recipe! i didnt have rice wine vinegar, so i used a combo of white wine and apple cider vinegar. turned out great! i also added some chow mein noodles at the end for crunch. i think that was nice touch thats worth a shot... i served it with asian BBQ flank steak and it was fantastic. thanks for the awesome recipe! its a nice change from ordinary coleslaw!

I had to find a coleslaw recipe that didn't have mayo. This slaw fit the bill. Didn't change a thing and it was a big hit at our Memorial Day BBQ. Everyone loved it.

The dressing on this is very good. I cleaned out my veggie bin and added broccoli, snap peas, jicama and even tossed in leftover couscous. Next time I will add a squeeze of lime, red pepper flakes and sesame oil. Thanks for sharing, this was really good!

This was super delicious! I left out the veggie oil because i didn't think the dressing needed it, and it tasted great without it. A dash of sesame oil was a nice touch.

This was very good. I felt like it was missing a little something but still wonderful. Would be good with grilled chicken on top, manderine orange slices, chopped peanuts or almonds. Something along those lines. I used a bag of pre-chopped cabbage mix.

I first had the pleasure of tasting this delightful dish that was served to me by my sister-in-law Michelle. This is a terrific recipe and now I am going to make it for myself with one twist. I want to substitute Hot peanut butter. Yes,you heard it right!! HOT peanut butter! I think it will be delicious! I love all things hot and paring the hot peanut butter with my favorite slaw should really be a winner!

I had a asian slaw similar to this at a bbq one summer, and had to duplicate it! I am not normally a fan of coleslaw, so this is my new favorite bbq side to mix things up a bit! I always get huge compliments, and like others, I used the packaged broccoli slaw, cole slaw mix and shredded carrots for ease. Definitely mix everything right before serving, and I love adding some chopped peanuts and fried asian noodles on top. Thanks for the recipe!

This is a family stand-by. We've been using this recipe for 5 years, and my children love it. It goes by the name "peanut butter cabbage salad" in our house. The only significant changes are I use my blender for the dressing to make it nice and smooth, and I often decrease the amount of cabbage since we love the dressing. Sometimes I only have one kind of cabbage, and while it's not as pretty, it still tastes amazing. I also don't always have all the other veggies, or have different proportions, and it still gets gobbled up by the kids. This is a keeper.

Took this to a Superbowl gathering and got great reviews from friends. I definitely recommend not putting on the dressing until time to serve. I also made a few adjustments to the dressing: Cut Soy Sauce to 2Tbs Used 2 Tbs dark sesame oil and 4 Tbs vegetable oil instead of all vegetable oil. Cut peanut butter to 4 Tbs and was still plenty peanutty. The is an easy one and a crowd pleaser - give it a try.

All I can say is delicious! I tried this recipe last week, and have already made it again. It does make a lot, but in my house it goes really fast. I slightly altered some of the quantities--more red cabbage, less green, etc. Also, as my husband loves ginger, I added more of it (approx. 1/2 TBS). With minor changes to suit our personal tastes, we both love this recipe. We stored it in the fridge for about 3 days after I made it, and it lasted well. The veggies were not quite so crunchy, but still very good.
