This is such a delicious recipe! There are so many flavours, and tons of veggies, we loved it! I found a good way to make a vegetarian version, ( I thought my Mom would enjoy this and she is veg) if anyone is interested.... make just as the recipe says, but a couple of hours before, cube up a whole pound of extra firm tofu. Place in a sealable container with approx. 1/4 cup Bragg's soy sauce (or regular soy sauce) 1 Tblsp roasted sesame oil, 2 cloves of garlic, chopped, and about 1/2 Tblsp fresh ginger, chopped. Allow to marinate at room temp for a few hours. Proceed with the rest of the recipe as is, omitting the beef of course. Oh, and I had extra udon noodles in the fridge that really needed to be used up, I used these so they would go to waste, and it tasted really good. Just put them in a wok with some water and a dash of worcestshire, and heat them up. As for the tofu, once it has marinated awhile, heat up 2 Tblsp of vegetable oil in a large pan, add tofu and marinade, and fry until crispy. Allow to cool before adding to the salad. Absolutely delicious - I think I like this vegetarian version just as much as the original recipe! Thanks - this is going to become a summer pot luck staple!

Awful. Did not like this at all. The dressing is not good. I even tried some more with just oil and vinegar and that tasted a little bit better. Would not recommend this.

This was awesome. The dressing is so good. I used ramen instead of pasta and I left out the mayonnaise and meat. The only only issue i had was I hadn't realized it was a cold salad so I had to figure out how to chill the ramen. Also, I think the broccoli might have been better lightly steamed. But overall mmmmm.

Delicious dressing without the mayo! The only change I made: I chopped some chicken breast and marinated it in some soy sauce, sesame oil and some garlic and then sauteed it. I used this instead of the beef. I also used ramen noodles- way more delicious than just penne pasta! Delicious recipe- thank you!

Yummy and more healthy with a few changes: *whole wheat pasta **instead of roast beef I loved using beef bacon from Trader Joes - chopped into bits** *skip mayo and vegetable oil *blanch carrot chunks too *use real ginger - more than 1 tsp *no need to chop peanuts *more cilantro than what was called for *whole bag pre cut broccoli and about half a bag of baby carrots chopped

I made this for dinner one night as a stir fry (my husband isn't a big fan of raw veggies or salads) and served it hot. It was SO good! I highly recommend trying it this way as well.

I am breaking the cardinal rule, and rating a recipe that I made changes to. That being said, the dressing is what makes this salad killer and I made just as is so it's justified in my mind! This dressing is sooo good I served mine over napa cabbage, left out the red pepper,(we like it, but have it in just about every other salad I make), added celery and water chestnuts, used sesame and sunflower seeds and left out the peanuts. Left out the beef and had grilled pork chops on the side, and possibly the biggy, I soaked rice noodles as per package instructions (in hot water for a couple of minutes) then fried until somewhat crispy and used instead of pasta. My husband looked at me between mouthfuls and said "I could eat this every day".

This dish was amazing! I followed it exactly (which is not what I normally do with recipes) and we are taking it on a road trip. I think this dish would be great to entertain with and looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing this dish!
