I used about 3 T. less olive oil than called for (the original amount just sounded like a lot and the recipe turned out great. I served this with the marinated salmon recipe I've been making for years. Wonderful dinner, and leftovers were great, too.

I have made this several times now as it has become a favorite of Hubby and mine. I tweaked the dressing by using teriyaki sauce in place of the soy sauce (adds just a little bit of sweetness and decreased the olive oil to 2-3 Tbsp.. For the salad itself, I added rotisserie chicken and sugar snap peas to the rest of the recipe. Also I use two packages of Ramen Noodles boiled just a few minutes (add one flavor packet to the water when cookingas I could not find the noodles called for. I think they are real close if not the same thing. YUM YUM!

The entire family loved this, but they even loved it MORE when I did the following: Add sugar- snap peas, flash stir-fry all veggies and then add 2 heaping Tblsp of Chunky peanut butter. Stir into veggies until melted. Chill in refrigerator and add 3 Tblsp fresh chopped mint. AMAZING!

I really liked this because of all the veggies. I have made it a couple times and I put in more veggies than called for, personal preference. I also have used somen noodles (8 oz because I had them on hand. They worked well and seemed to be enough. It can seem very oily, but the oil helps to keep the noodles from sticking together. You could reduce it, but I wouldn't reduce the oil more than 1 Tablespoon. If you use regular soy sauce it could be too salty, so try low sodium soy sauce. Of course if you add more veggies like I do then you won't have either problem. I like this because it's full of good for you stuff, easy to put together especially ahead of time and can feed a group. Will continue to use this.

I have to agree with Alex..too salty and a bit oily.

It would be helpful if a weight was given for the "package of soba noodles". A previous reviewer said that a package was 8 oz (which is probably the case. The package of noodles I bought was 28.8 oz! I suspected that was more than the recipe called for, so I used half of it and to be safe, I doubled the dressing to make sure I'd have enough.

I used most of the dressing. The predominant flavor was soy/salt. There was a little heat from the chili oil, but it overall just tasted of soy sauce and was missing some depth/flavor. I wanted to add more hoisin but was afraid to because of the extra salt, and wanted to add more sesame oil but was afraid to because it was already so greasy. I wound up mixing up some peanut butter and honey and added that in to try to sweeten it up a little and cut the salt. It helped with the flavor but started to get a little too wet. Maybe I'll add a little ginger and see if that helps.

I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could. And note, I did substitute a few things... I hate soba noodles so instead I just boiled up some ramen and threw that in. I didn't have any cilantro on hand, but I bet that would have helped the dish out a bit. I added half a jalapeno for some kick, and skipped the hoisin for two reasons: I don't like hoisin, and I didn't have any, so put a tsp of sugar in instead. Also used half as much olive oil.

Everything was good except the sauce... too salty, and too greasy! I like salt but this was too much. Use low-sodium or reduce the amount of soy sauce. Also, I only used half the olive oil and to me it was still too greasy. I'd like maybe use 1/4 to 1/2 of what is called for in the recipe. Also, if I were to make this again with ramen noodles, I'd skip cooking the noodles so there would be some nice crunch.

Other than that, pretty good. And a nice addition to a summer meal.

We all loved this. The dressing is fantastic. I added garlic and ginger just because I love them. Will make again with fewer noodles and more cabbage.
