Excellent recipe. I didn't have the tamari and couldn't find it in local grocery stores....so I used 'sweetened soy sauce' and didnt' add the sugar. Worked well. Hubby loved it, and asked I make it up again two days after the first try :-) Thanks so much for a great recipe.

Soba noodles are great, but my wife is on a low carb kick and I made this using soy noodles. Wasn't the same but good none the less. Since I love green onion, I served extra at the table to sprinkle. A squirt of lime juice and a few sprigs of cilantro and you cross the border to Viet Nam

Tastes good and looks pretty!.. It's a nice light dish for a hot summer day! I made some changes due to what I had in my pantry: First of all my pkg of soba noodles was 12oz. and it worked perfectly. I added some shredded zucchini along with the red pepper and carrot. Used canola oil in place of the sesame and chili oil. Sliced red onions in place of the green. I sprinkled sesame seeds in the dish and added a t fresh grated ginger. I added about 1T of Sriyachi sauce for heat. In place of tamari sauce I used 2T soy and 1T molasses and it worked! Didn't follow all the steps/hours but after the initial marinating time just threw the rest in before serving; thanks! :)

I have made this recipe for potlucks, for company, for the family, and for friends. It always gets rave reviews. Many times, I do add a few more sweet pepper (red and yellow) than the recipe calls for, but I follow the rest of the directions to the letter. It really does need to marinate at least six hours or overnight.

This is delicious. We up the veggies by using a cup of julliened cucumber as well--just make 1/3 as much dressing. My daughter takes this for lunch often with a side of salmon or sliced chicken.

I made this last night for my boyfriend and me - we thought it was ok. I made the recipe to the T - We both thought it was maybe the after taste of the wheat in the noodles we didnt like? Not sure? maybe didnt let it marinate long enough?

I have made this twice now, I think it is a perfect dinner dish for a really hot day. The dressing complements the earthiness of the soba noodles.

GREAT! Very refreshing, quick and tasty. I used green tea flavoured soba noodles. I only decreased the sesame oil and increased the rice wine vinegar due to personal preference. I will make again, thanks!
