This was a great summer supper! I just substituted whole wheat linguine for the soba, and kept everything else the same. I agree with other reviewers that suggested the dish needed a little more spice, so I would add more Sriracha sauce next time. It made 4 generous portions with no leftovers!

LOVE this recipe.

I now keep buckwheat soba noodles and beans stocked for this recipe since it is so easy, plus I can use them for other things. I get the noodles at World Market but recently discovered I can get them cheaper at Ingles.

I do make some changes:
-I omit chicken usually unless I happen to have left over grilled chicken on hand.
-I use baby lima beans instead of edamae since they're cheaper and not a huge change.
-I do not run the noodles and beans under cold water because I prefer warm food.
-Do not use green onions unless I already have them on hand. Have used scallions and cilantro instead before.
-Top with a decent amount of Srircha because that stuff is nom.
-Stir in more cucumbers because I can

I would say as long as you have an inclination toward asian or indian food made with a peanut sauce, you're gonna like this. If you're more the picky sort that sticks to swwet and sour and stir fry, this might not be for you.

Made this tonight! Followed the recipe exactly and it was refreshing! Lots of flavor. If your noodles are paste like, you overcooked them! Easy, fast and healthy!

Made this dish again last night. My wife is a vegetarian, so I omitted the chicken, and it is still quite good. After a few attempts I have up'd the ante on the Sriracha sauce (we both like more kick and the dish can handle it - rich peanut butter and cool cucumber. This one is a favorite and it makes enough for lunches the next day!

This was good. Recommend that people use seasoned chicken (or add some dry rub to your rotisserie chicken.

We didn't care for this recipe. I would probably suggest to use a different type of noodle if someone else wants to try the recipe anyway. Rachal Ray has a better version on this site.

Thought it was great, but here in Ontario, Canada you cannot take any nut product to school. Thanks though!

No way is this a one star recipe. Refreshing on a hot summer evening. Easy to fix and delicious! Reminded me of some noodle dishes I had when we visited Japan.

Excellent and perfect for a summer day when you don't want something too hot because temperatures are in the upper 90s. Easy to prepare and it's nice to make something with an Asian influence instead of typical hamburgers and fries. I added a little wasabi to spice it up a bit but other than that I will be doing this recipe again.

I just created an account to review this dish since I didn't think it deserved 1 star from the last reviewer. I thought it was a great weeknight night meal which was very simple to prepare (just as the magazine stated!. I did use spaghetti instead of soba noodles (since that's what was in my pantry, but other than that... pretty much followed the recipe to a "t". My husband and I both enjoyed it. I would say it makes more than 4 servings though... more like 6.
