I absolutely loved it. I was kind of worried about the dressing and how it would turn out but no worries anymore. Thanks for a great recipe.

After making this salad, there was one thing I added to add a little substance to the meal -- CHICKEN! My wife liked the salad, so I'll make this again. Though some of the ingredients were a little hard to find.

This is almost the same as a very popular recipe which swept Australia a few years ago, and is still very popular. There, the recipe is printed on packs of "Changs" fried noodles. If ready-fried noodles are available in the us you can save yourself any cooking (if you use ready toasted almonds, otherwise toast in a dry frypan). I substitute dry slaw mix, which has bits of red cabbage and grated carrot, so the finished salad is much more attractive than with straight cabbage. Everyone in Australia seems to just love this salad!

I have made this recipe for many events and always get rave reviews! Even my picky picky grandfather loved it and asked me to make it for the next time! Like others said - it isn't the most visually appealing - but the taste takes care of it!

Very tasty, but does not make for the prettiest presentation due to all the oil in the dressing. If I make again I will add a pinch of salt and only use 2/3 of the dressing.

Quite yummy! I added shredded rotisserie chicken which made it a terrific meal. Eat it immediately, as it gets soggy as leftovers (although it still tastes great)

EXCELLENT KAY!!!! Skipped the butter and used canola oil. What I love most about this salad is that you can make it ahead including the dressing and is still nice and crisp. Just throw the topping on when you're ready to serve and you're good to go. Thanks so much as this was the best cabbage salad I've tried so far!!

The salad tasted good enough but was not visually appealing. The various crunches make it good enough that I may try it again. Maybe adding some carrot or purple cabbage would give it more color.

This is great. I used pre packaged shredded cabbage and canned rice noodles instead of ramen. Served for the Chinese New Year -- big hit!

I have tried several of these "chinese slaw" recipes. This is the best. the addition of the sesame oil makes a world of difference. It has been a requested recipe, even by people who already make a version of this. I keep the 3 components in separate containers in the frig and mix it up as I feel the urge. It stays crunchy and is a great quick lunch or dinner side dish. A BIG hit at gatherings, too.

I have made this recipe several times now and LOVE it! The only thing I do different is that I use the oriental package of ramen noodles along with the oriental flavor packet it comes with. It gives the salad even more flavor. I love the fact that this salad keeps so wells and tastes great even after a couple of days in the frige!

not bad....even the kids ate it!! I used regular cabbage, but I think I used too much of it. Next time will make it with only 1/3-1/2 of the cabbage (I used over 1/2 of a small head and it was too much). Also, I only added 1/2 of the flavoring packet, but next time I think I'll use the whole thing as it wasn't too salty to me.

As a new member, this was a great start! Loved the flavors of this salad, as did everyone else. Clean plates all around! Since we used this as a main dish, the 6 servings proportions, were perfect for 4, and I added chicken. Great salad, will absolutely make it again!

This is a wonderful departure from boring tossed salads, and is a great hit with guests and family alike. Add a can of well-drained mandarin oranges for more depth. Even the kids like the sweetened flavor. I recommend combining the salad/dressing/noodles at the last minute to preserve that crunch! Ramen noodle mixture will keep for weeks, and is good as a topping to any salad.

My mom requested this salad, but she said it had a bit too much vinegar. I added an extra head of cabbage as well, as the other ingredients drowned the single head of cabbage. Overall, I loved the recipe, but my mom said it was still missing something.

Fantastic! I use prepackaged - coleslaw - it saved time and was even better. It is a huge hit. Often I add chicken strips and mandarin oranges to make a meal out of it.
