This is very delicious! With these noodle bowls, the real clincher is the sauce and this one is quite good. I cut the sugar by 75% because I don't like things that are sweet. It worked perfectly. I made a couple of changes, I didn't have any red bell peppers so I used fresh cayenne peppers cut into strips and I used sesame oil instead of olive. This is a refreshing and light meal. Thank you for the recipe.
Delicious with dinner, but i thought it was even better the next day after soaking up some of the flavors.
The sauce in this was way off. There is too much oil, and too much soy sauce. I also halved the sugar. I would halve the oil and soy sauce next time. Also, I think maybe adding some peanut butter to thicken the sauce and add some flavor would've helped. It tasted flat and unflavorful.
Tasty we could have soaked the noodles a little longer. We only had the flat rice noodles that look like fettuccine noodles at our store so I am guessing they need to be soaked longer. The only change we made was we added carrots that were cut like matchsticks. I also gave generous portions of vegetables to this salad.
I didn't make the sauce by exact quantity. I adjusted the amount of sugar, soy sauce, oil, etc... to taste. Also cabbage taste better than the lettuce in this salad.
I made it as written and it was great! All the extra sauce you people "complained" about having - actually soaks into the noodles & vegetables when it sets overnight!
First off I have to say this...I almost NEVER follow a recipe when I'm making something. I use it more as a guideline. When I make a salad like this one all bets are off. I followed the directions for the dressing but after that I did my own thing. I wanted a little more Asian flare so I picked up some bamboo shoots and snow peas at the store. Secondly I thought the red pepper sounded a bit off so I left it out. And since I hate cilantro left that out too. But I made it twice and after the second time I'm thinking it needs red and maybe some yellow too so next time I'll add the pepper but the color remains unknown to me at this time. I loved this salad. It's beyond easy to make and it's so delish. I hope everyone who tries it enjoys it as much as I did. Have fun!!!!
Sauce was tasty but way to much. I shouldn't have added the whole thing.
Upfront: I replaced 1/4 of a medium green cabbage for romaine, doubled the rest of the veg, and halved the sauce. Because of other reviews, I started with 1/2 of the sugar and taste-tested until I ended up with the recipe's original amount of sugar. Ha! One thing I will try next time is omitting the salt. Soy sauce does the trick and it might need less sugar then. Oh, and I'll more than double the veg.
