Reviews
I agree with other reviews that the slaw needed some added flavor. I added soy sauce, more rice vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and cayenne pepper. Turned out great. If you are a good cook, you learn to taste and adjust ingredients to your taste.
Awesome alternative to traditional slaw! I love Asian flavors, and this goes so well with many dishes I prepare–fun, crunchy, colorful, different side dish! Thanks, Sandra! Also did the toasted sesame seeds w/sesame oil for extra depth + flavor!
Wish I had read the reviews before wasting my time making this. It had no flavor at all. Don’t waste you time or money making this.
by the ingredients for the dressing that it w/b bland. I don’t even need to make it myself to know this. And if I did I would adding my own ingredients to give the recipe the flavor a good slaw deserves. Sorry Sandra, but I think you could do better than this.
We added thinly sliced red pepper, toasted the sesame seeds ans used toasted sesame seed oil. I found it refreshing. The sweetnes and crunchiness of the chow mein noodles complemented the salad nicely.
We added a tablespoon of honey, sliced almonds and a few cashews. I thought it was really refreshing. Nice summer salad. We ate it with the Baked Spring Rolls with crab. Yum.
This recipe was such a disappointment. It had absolutely no taste. I added some soy sauce and sugar. It was a bit better. Not much..
The recipe turns out dreadfully bland or as the Brits will say? unsavory. I added a ton of ingredients to make it edible. Stay away from this one!!
I made this twice. The second time I added about a tabelspoon of sugar and 2 tsp of soy sauce to the dressing. I also added some chashews and almond slices I had on hand. So much better. Now I love it.
You’ve got to be kidding. We choked on this dressing. Tell me there was a typo – you shouldn’t publish this.
