Excellent starter recipe. It was definitely a little bland for our tastes, so I added a bit of oyster sauce, ginger and wasabi powder. For the veggies I used raw spinach and deseeded sliced cucumber which gave it a nice crunch. Also stirred in a can of dark tuna (Korean brand from Asian store). Will definitely be making this again.

Very good recipe to start with, just made a few tweaks (personal preference) to the sauce. I'd also advise, it does NOT take 10-12 minutes to toast sesame seeds at that oven temperature - maybe half that time. But this was a good, easy recipe that I'll definitely keep making and modifying!

I just made this tonight after a long day of work. I didn't have soba noodles so I used spagetti instead. I also use water chestnuts instead of brocolli and also added some cooked onions. It was very good especially with a splash of hot sauce and a dash of ginger powder.

First of all, I had no broccoli, so I used peas and a couple green beans instead. I also didn't have fresh garlic, so I had to use garlic powder. I probably used 1/8 Cup of sesame seeds and that was more than enough. I would go easy on the balsamic vinegar. It was just okay, so we kept adding stuff to it through out the meal. The sliced ham and salted scrambled egg gave our pallets a pleasant break from being overpowered by the noodle sauce.

I couldn't find soba noodles at my grocery store (and they're usually pretty good about ethnic items), so I used whole grain linguini instead. I added carrots and I steamed the veggies for about 4 minutes to partially cook them. I think this tasted better than it would have raw. I just eyeballed the amount of sesame seeds to add and I'm pretty sure I used far less than half a cup. With my modifications, I really enjoyed this. Tasted good both warm and cold.

Didn't hate it but didn't love it either. Had to double the sauce for the amount of noodles used.

Soo-ba yummie! I added a veggie stir-fry as recommended by others (carrots, broccoli, onions, mushrooms, & baked tofu); and poured on a mixture of soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, & fresh ginger at the very end. I liked the presentation, and turns out those soba noodles are pretty nutritious and high in protein. I'd definitely like to use this recipe again. Thanks!

You can do several things with this recipe... I didn't have balsamic vinegar, so I substituted for red wine vinegar and it tasted just as delicious. Also, you can add cooked chicken (fake chicken for vegetarians)in the end, and it tastes absolutely delicious with it. Nice filling, but not heavy meal on a hot day

I browned extra seeds and then I tripled the sauce and let it sit a bit longer in the extra sauce to absorb as much as possible into the noodles. I served it luke-warm... my roommate and boyfriend loved it!

The sauce was not that flavorful and not to our liking. Would change it up next time I made it.

I decided to blanch the broccoli first based on some reviewer's comments, but I think it would have been much better raw. You need the sharper flavor and crunch of raw broccoli to balance this salad. The dressing is absolutely delicious and would also make a good marinade.

I would have given this 3 stars, but my 7 year old daughter RAVED. This definitely needs to sit for an hour or so at room temp to let the flavors meld. It's missing a layer of flavor like some others suggested. I added a grated carrot and julienne cucumber at the end. I think next time I'll make the peanut sauce from the Satay Chicken from this site, leave it a little thin, then add about a half-cup to the sauce. It's still pretty good cold the next day.

This was good. I left out the veggies and just made the noodles and it was awesome. A family favorite that I know I will be making again and again. Served with Melt in your Mouth Porkchops (on this site) and steamed veggies.

Very tasty. Sauteed sliced mushrooms, halved baby carrots, and thinly sliced green cabbage in place of broccoli and used rice vinegar in place of balsamic. The only soba noodles I could find were buckwheat-yam; used parsley to perk up the appearance.

This recipe turned out very good. I added some stir fried chicken pieces to add a little protein and make it more of a main course. Had it as part of a NYE dinner party.
