I used thin spaghetti noodles and it turned out really well, great mix of flavors.

delicious and simple! lends itself to many variations--add meat or tofu, more veggies, etc. holds well for a day or two.

I've been looking for a recipe like this to duplicate a salad we buy in our local deli. This recipe is even better and so much less expensive to make myself. I followed the recipe exactly the first time and after that I used pasta instead of soba noodles. It's so easy and delicious. Thank you!!!

The dressing for this salad is delicious. I add about a tablespoon of Mirin to the dressing which cuts down on the dryness as well. I like more vegetables in this salad. My favorite it to add julienned daikon radish and whole sugar snap peas. I have also added small pieces of aspragus, although they are not so oriental. If you add too many more veggies, you need to make a little more dressing, though. I have made this recipe with salmon, doubled the dressing recipe and used it to marinate the salmon to have the flavors pull through in another dish. It was wonderful!

Better than what I buy in our local deli! I have been trying to find a recipe like this for several years and this is the one. I omitted the peanuts and carrots and added a little more brown sugar. Also, I just used whole wheat angel hair pasta.

YES!! this is the sauce you've been looking for! mine is still cooling in the fridge, but i had a little sneak taste and it is wonderful, didn't change a thing. perfect, thanks for submitting. UPDATE: ive made this over and over; add your favourite peppers onions and mushrooms for a refreshing crunchy salad!

I loved this super easy dish. I ended up adding a little more garlic, sesame oil and we used tamari sauce instead of soy. I let it sit in the fridge for several hours and kept adding the sesame and tamari to taste. As is, it tasted a bit too much like lime. Thanks for the great salad. I will be making it very often!!!

I fixed this for a potluck at the beach over Mem Day weekend and it was a hit. I left out the peanuts because of a peanut allergy, used buckwheat soba noodles and brown rice vinegar because that's what I had. I don't know how that might've made this different but everyone liked it as it came out. Even my two year old chowed it though she did guzzle a lot of juice when she hit a pepper flake. Definitely need to "meld" in the fridge for awhile first. An hour was good... can't wait to see how it turns out if I leave it in longer. I did break the noodles (actually into 4" as mine were 8" long) before putting in the pot and it worked great. Thanks for the recipe.

Pretty good recipe. I made it with spaghetti noodles instead, since I didn't have soba noodles. I added some sauteed chicken breast to it as well.

Nice, easy recipe but I think it would be a lot simpler to break the noodles into 3" pieces than cut them after they are cooked! I'd try this recipe again with maybe some green onions for color. UPDATE: I made this again with cold whole wheat spaghetti and it worked great. Also added some peas and grilled chicken to make it a whole meal. Yum!

Super yummy!!

I made this last week to take to a friend's house, as she was making Asian grilled tuna steak salad. I ended up having to use the thin rice noodles because I couldn't find soba, but it was still really good. They absorbed all the liquid and needed more, so I ended up doubling the sauce ingredients. This is sooo tasty -- it's good cold or warm.

Ok only small modifications based on what was in the pantry...too yukky to go outside. I used linguine for the noodles, Emeril's Asian Essence (a wee bit- as I didn't have cilantro), no lime zest as I didn't have a fresh lime, cashews as I didn't have peanuts. Added sliced green onions. I poured all of the sauce/veggie ingredients over the hot linguine.....oooo as a warm pasta dish it's awesome, can't wait to try cold and with all the exact ingredients. It reminds me of the asian noodle salad they have at The Fresh Market! Thanks for sharing.

Been making this for some time, and it's great every time! Thanks!

OMG! If I could give this recipe 10 stars I would!! Can't tell you how much I enjoyed this.. And the fact that I didn't have all the ingredients and it STILL turned out amazing is proof : ) I had to use lemon juice instead of the lime, red wine vinegar instead of rice wine vinegar, and fresh parsley instead of cilantro. I also added an extra tablespoon of soy sauce and vinegar, and some toasted sesame seeds too.. I tossed in a bit of canned tuna and it turned out really well. This is definitely gonna be something I'll make to impress! Thank you soooooo much!

Yummm! I did add a bit extra soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil and it turned out perfect. Also used 3 tsp of red pepper flakes and everybody thought it was the perfect amount of spice. Definately one of my favorite recipes now.
