  1. Had this salad at a party this summer and loved it, but the hostess said "I don't like to give out my recipes. So many people are not as well trained in culinary arts as I am!". Well, I got the recipe anyway and this is better than hers! She didn't use any sunflower seeds! Thank you for sharing your recipe! Followed your recipe exactly! Mickie
     
  2. Thank You very much for a nice salad recipe! Its been a hit at every social gathering this summer! Its a good twist on a cold salad. Stick to the Oriental flavor Ramen Noodles it is perfect, I cant see another flavor going well with this recipe. Also, let it sit at least an hour before consumption, but no longer than three days. After three days the ramen noodles and cabbage become soggy. Things I did differently: I added broccoli & green onions. I substituted the sunflower seeds for sliced almonds (mmmm!). I also used 2 packets of ramen noodles per 14oz bag of cabbage. I think everyone should skip the sugar and use the 6 packets of splenda like mentioned. I also added fresh ground peppercorns into the salad.
     
  3. Terrific salad! The second time around I toasted the ramen noodles, sesame seeds and added slivered almonds (toasting was key to the taste). I used soy sauce and olive oil, sugar and seasoning in the ramen noodles. Halfway through the BBQ there was nothing left and my guests requested your recipe! Thanks for posting this!!
     
  4. I've made this for years. I normally use cashews instead of the ramen noodle. The noodle get mushy fairly fast. Also add chicken the make it a main dish.
     
  5. This was delicious!! I made this for our Christmas Eve party and it was so good! This is such an affordable, easy, tasty recipe ( few and far between!). My only changes were I added a little more sugar and more vinegar only because I like strong dressings. Thanks for a recipe I will make again and again!

  1. Yummy as is, just wanted to try adding Mandarin orange slices and chopped chicken. Satisfying meal on the hot days of summer.
     
  2. Love , love this recipe!! So simple. Only teak was using sesame oil and rice wine vinegar and cutting a bit back on the sugar. Great with asian brined grilled chicken thighs!
     
  3. LOVE this recipe. I too add toasted almonds instead of the sunflower seeds and used 1/4 cup oil instead of 1/2 cup.
