This is a really good recipe and easy to customize to suit your taste. I made it many times in the past two years. My usual tweak: I do not buy fish sauce just for this recipe - substitute with soy sauce; no funky taste, and if you want the slaw taste more salty, just add a little more soy sauce. I do not use salt at all in this. If no honey, can use brown sugar; if no peanuts, I use sesame seeds. If no lime juice, I use lemon juice. Every time it comes out delicious!

Made this exactly as instructed (how else can you know) and it was fantastic. Will make again and again. Thanks

Super easy. I replaced one of the tablespoons of honey with soy sauce. One of the tablespoons of sesame oil I replaced with sesame oil with chili to give it some kick. I added sesame seeds instead of peanuts and grated fresh ginger in it. I know you shouldn't rate unless you stick to the recipe, but it's a great base and is easy to tweak to your tastes. I made it to use on Korean BBQ tacos.

Pretty tasty, but there's way too much rice wine vinegar in my opinion. Start out with 2Tbsp and keep adding as needed.

I love thai food, but I did not like this recipe. The ingredients do not go well or pop. I made this twice to give it a fair try. The second time I incorporated some of the suggestions. I still did not like it. So glad, I had the ingredients on hand. It would have been more of a dissapointment if I purchased the ingredients just for the recipe.

Delicious and super easy! I followed others' suggestions and added a tablespoon each of soy sauce and asian chili-garlic sauce, and I also added cilantro. I disagree with some reviewers' comments that it was too sweet or fishy - I didn't find that to be the case at all. This was easy and a nice healthy substitute for mayo-based slaw.

I added cilantro and spring onion. I also used a little cayenne pepper instead of black pepper for a little extra kick.

this had a pleasant flavor and was easy to make. However, if I make it again I would add other ingredients for sure -chopped ginger, serrano, mango etc. Will search for a more complex recipe. But glad I made it, simple and easy, nothing fancy.
