I had never tried Chinese cabbage before. I planted several plants in my garden this fall. When I tasted the beautiful leaves, it was terribly, terrible bitter, and I actually threw some of it out. I followed this recipe exactly and warned my guests of the bitterness. I was totally surprised that the vinegar mixture completely took out the bitterness and left the most delicious salad.It was quickly eaten by guests with many compliments. I could not get over how good it tasted! Make sure you put the crunchies on right before serving. Luckily, I have more cabbage in the garden. This recipe is a keeper. I will make it on Thanksgiving as well. Thanks.

I just finished making this and it was just as amazing as the Oriental Salad I order at Kona Grill. I used cole slaw bc my store didn't have napa cabbage, half the butter when cooking the ramen noodles and only half the flavor packet to try to cut down on the sodium. Only used 1 tbsp sugar instead of two and I think it tasted perfect. Will definitely be making this again.

I always like this recipe - the one thing I do different is to put chicken in it - try it - it's great!

Nice texture and very versatile. Sesame oil was too overpowering, will cut in half next time.

I have made this recipe many many times for family and friend gatherings. The only substitution I make is cashew pieces for the almonds just out of personal preference. Occasionally I have added shredded chicken to make it a main course salad. I can't even count the number of people who ask me for the recipe. There are two groups who demand that I bring this salad whenever we get together. Thank you so much for this perfect salad recipe.

I thought this rated a 4 as there are similar recipes that I like better for a 5 rating. I followed the directions as stated.

I took this recipe to a picnic yesterday and it got lots of compliments. I used red cabbage for color and it was beautiful. I also didn't use the chicken ramen noodles because I'm vegetarian. Instead I tossed in chow mein noodles at the end which worked out great. I will definitely make it again and again!

This salad is like something out of a restaurant. Very Good. Next time I will greatly reduce the amount of butter used in making the crunchies. I may use another reviewers suggestion to use the spray butter. I thought I would have trouble finding Napa Cabbage in my small town but surprisingly Walmart and HyVee had it. I just never knew what it was until then. Will definitely make again!

Had this at a friend's house. It is great. Only problem is that it doesn't keep. Great for feeding a crowd though. I now have all the fixings to make this anytime. Yum!

I put baked teriyaki chicken on this salad and it is just good. Alone it's a lot of cabbage salad to ask someone to eat without a lot of textural variation. Anyway. Try it with the chicken. It's good. Especially if your husband is a tough sell sometimes on greens.

I made this for my luau party and it didn't go over well at all. It was just way too salty for anyone to enjoy. This was the first time I made and ate something like this and even with suggestions from others, it still wasn't happening for us. This has potential to be something delious but it definitely needs to be tweaked a few times to get it right from my experience anyway.

Have made this recipe many times, and everyone loves it, even the kids!! I've discovered, though, that regular cabbage just doesn't do it! Must be Chinese cabbage.
