I used half a head of regular cabbage that I had hanging around. Otherwise, I stuck to the original recipe. It was a big hit. I was nervous about the amount of sugar, but it wasn't over-powering. This type of recipe is really my "thing", but the rest of the family was as enthusiastic as I was about it. We all had several helpings, even DD, who hates cabbage! Thanks, Sly Girl!!

This salad is WONDERFUL !!! LOVE IT !!! I really like the fried noodle and sesame seed mixture , and the dressing has the best flavor . I can see this with some chicken or maybe even pork or steak added for a nice summer MEAL? THIS IS GOOOOOD!!

This is great. I used 2 green onions and chicken ramen. I used canola for the oil in the dressing. Excellent salad. Will be using this recipe again.

WOW! I originally tried this recipe in order to use up some left over cabbage, but I didnt expect this recipe to be so tasty! The whole combination of ingredients seemed a bit strange - but dont let that put you off, I will definitely be making this again! I also replaced some of the veg oil with sesame oil. Thank you for sharing it.

This is a fantastic recipe. I've made it as written a couple of times, but wanted to play with the flavour a bit. If you toast the sesame seeds first and replace 1/4 cup of oil with dark sesame oil, it is SO much better! Also, if you are making in advance you're better off using a more robust cabbage such as savoy. It stays crunchier longer!
