Excellent salad - a little too much oil for me, but easily fixed and probably just my weirdness. I did not have any sesame seeds, so I subbed a quarter teaspoon sesame oil on the crunchies and 2 tiny shakes in the dressing. A little goes a long way. My husband, who doesn't like raw cabbage, loved this, as did my 10 year old daughter. Jury's out on the 3 year old though! lol

OMG,delicious!! As a new immegrant from Taiwan, I have tasted many "Asian food" created by creative americans and I have to say this one is definitely one of the best. Everything is balanced in a beautiful harmony: the crunchiness v.s. the tenderness, the nutty, buttery flavor v.s. the pungency of the herb and veg... And I love the rich and complex dressing, it really compliments the salad. Bravo!

Hace made other versions of this, but this was great! Cheated and used bag of cabbage/slaw mix and instead of dirtying up 2 dishes, I just sauted the butter and threw in the crunchies to toast in the frying pan, but watch them close and stir often. Turned out great! Thanks.

I made this for a Bunco, and there were NO LEFTOVERS. I went by the book with no changes to the recipe. It was great! I'll be making this one often. Thanks!

Excellent. I did not use napa cabbage, just grabbed a premade slaw mix out of the produce section then followed the rest of the directions. Wonderful.

I thought this was tasty, but a little sweet. I found serving it alongside grilled chicken (using the asian ginger grill marinade from this site) worked very well. Whole family enjoyed it. I did add shredded carrots, and part sesame oil/part vege oil, as someone else suggested.

Great recipe. Served grilled raspberry chicken over it. Had to substitute because did not have sesame seeds in stock. Offset some of the veg oil with 2 TBL of sesame seed oil. Could be easily converted to sugar free and still have great taste.

Next time I'll add the seasoning packet instead of soy sauce. I personally did not like this, but gave it a 5 star since both my daughter and husband loved it!

The idea is good and the finished product is almost there, but I would make a few changes. Definitely go with olive oil, if not e.v.o.o., instead of the vegetable oil, as this gives the dressing a slightly bitter taste. Try baking the crunchies with 1/4 c instead of 1/3 c butter; they were a little greasy with 1/3 c. Other than that, it is a very good, refreshing salad!

5-Stars just as written! No doctoring up required. I did feel there was a tad more butter than necessary for the crunchies (but maybe that's just me). I can see where this would be an easy "make ahead" dish to transport to an event and assemble just before serving. Adding this one to my "Favorites" List. UPDATE: I have found a way to "lighten" this salad without losing any of the flavors: I spray the crunchies with butter spray before I bake them & use brown sugar Splenda in place of the sugar. Other than the oil, you have a Weight Watcher's friendly meal on your hands. A regular in our house now. My teenaged son loves it too and the dressing is GREAT on baked chicken!

This is "The Best". My sister is asked to make this for every family function we have. When she brings it to gatherings, she brings the dressing in a container and shakes it well before tossing the salad, then adds the crunchies. I'm so glad she shared this recipe with me.

Wonderful. Everyone and I mean everyone loved it. I keep the dressing and the toastd crunchies made up and a bag of shredded cabbage in the frig and throw it together a couple night a week. Sometime I throw in some mandarin oranges or pineapple tidbits. Delicious. Really wonderful.

This is the best cabbage salad I have had. I have tried so many of this kind. Followed the recipe as-is and it was great. Sesame seeds add a lot of taste.
