outstanding!!!! The only alterations I have made with this recipe is the fact that I use olive oil instead of vegetable oil, rice vinegar, and add some baby asian greens to the mix. I have made this MANY times and everyone asks for the recipe! I make my dressing and leave it on the side for everyone to add themselves. This eliminates the "oily" residue at the bottom of your serving dish. I would give this six stars if I could!

This is a great place to start. I'm sure it's great as-is, but I tried to make it a little healthier by following the advice of others and it turned out really well. My husband loved it. Changes: used EVOO for oil and reduced to 1/4 c; used rice vinegar; used Splenda and reduced to 3 tbs. Was still too sweet so I added a little fresh ginger and some chili garlic sauce for kick; used low-sodium soy sauce. Added shredded carrots, sliced snow peas and a handful of chopped cilantro to the slaw mix; tossed the crunchies with a little sesame & chili oils and baked for a few minutes. Also only tossed enough for dinner and stored the 3 components separately to avoid sogginess.

This recipe is a great start. I am doing weight watchers and tried to use minimal oil and butter. I think the flavor was great with just a few tablespoons of olive oil. Also added mandarin oranges in their juice to cut back on the sugar. I used chicken ramen noodles and the seasoning packets. It was better using nappa cabbage, added snap peas and slivered carrots to get even more veggies. YUM!!

This is the best salad recipe ever! So easy to make and wonderful flavor! I added shredded carrots for color and added another veggie too. Also used olive oil, used 3 packages of Ramen Noodles and about 3-4 tablespoons of sesame seeds. What flavor it gave to toast the noodles, seeds and almonds. I will make this recipe over and over. Will rty to add some breaded chicken to it next time.

Thank You, Juanita ! I served this at our Labor Day BBQ and everyone RAVED about how GREAT it was. I took some advice from the reviews and used 1/3 cup oil, 1/4 cup rice vinegar and 1/4 cup white sugar. I also added one tablespoon of sesame oil which seemed to give it an extra layer of taste. I will definitely make this again in the future.

Very good! I cut back on the oil and butter as others have done. I read the leftovers were not great and I only have my son and I to feed. So problem solved: I just keep the dressing and cooked crunchies (seperate) in the fridge and make up a small amount when we want some. If you have only tried the pre-packaged cabbage -you MUST try the real thing Napa cabbage is so much better.

I love making this salad to take to parties, etc. I have also made it with some store-bought chicken tenders and cut them up to make family meal on the go. It is GREAT for swim meets or when you need "cooler food" to go! I also add sunflower seeds and use olive oil instead of butter and sunflower oil instead of the veg oil.

Yum! I have tried other versions of asian salads and this one is the best. I think toasting the noodles, sesame seeds and almonds is the difference. I used two bags of coleslaw mix and added the packet of seasoning to the dressing.. Perfect !!

This was a yummy salad. I used the canned noodles and added pineapple. I used the dressing as a marinade for grilled chicken which went on top. Delicious!

Oh soooh good! One of the very best salad combinations that I have ever made.

This dish is excellent! I used 1 1/2 bags of coleslaw though. I also made the entire batch of dressing and used it all. However, I did cut back on the veg oil by 1/8 cup and substituted this with sesame oil. The sesame oil adds so much flavor! This dish was a hit and I'll definitely make it again.

OMGosh! This is fabulous! I did make a few alterations as suggested by other reviews. 1) I toasted the sesame seeds ( black sesame seeds was all my store had on hand), ramen noodles & almonds at 300 until browned. About 10 minutes. Made the sauce ahead of time & made sure it was completely chilled before tossing with cabbage. Then I added the noodles, seeds & nuts on top. Will do this again with seared tuna next time. YUMMO!!

We love this salad!

I also used olive oil but less amount and I used rice vinegar. It was very good.

This is such a yummy salad (though not very healthy) I substitute sesame oil for the butter (about 1/4 c) and olive oil for the veg oil. I also add a little more soy sauce. Mmmm!

The sauce was phenomenal. I'd recommend trying this with Grilled Peanut Chicken, if that recipe tickles your fancy. This salad doesn't work well as leftovers, so don't make more than you can eat in one meal.

My family LOVES this recipe. I always throw in some mandarin oranges to make it a little sweeter as well.
