"This light, refreshing salad is a great start to any Japanese meal. I enjoy this fresh salad as a starter to a sushi dinner or alone for a light lunch. This is also a basic recipe to prepare."

  1. We loved this recipe, we have made it two times in three days. It's that delicious. I had to make a few adjustments to it to accomodate our pantry items. I used a mirin in place of the sake, because I don't buy it; left out the seafood because the kids don't eat it, and used somen noodles because they were in the house. This is a delightful, delectable recipe. Sweet, tangy and light. It's a perfect dish.
     
  2. Very simple to make. This is a wonderfully refreshing appetizer prior to our favorite homemade sushi dinner. Both my husband and I feel it has the perfect amount of sweet and tart flavours. I left out the sake, simply because I didn't have any on hand and it was still great. Also left out the salt and added a little more than a dash of light soy sauce. Added about 1/2 - 3/4 tsp of finely grated gingerroot . I like this recipe for the mixture of flavors but also it doesn't have alot of sugar, like some recipes I have tried.
     
  3. Outstanding! Wonderful salad to suit any Japanese theme style dinner. Also yummy alone or as a side dish. I think it had the perfect amount of dressing (not to strong and not subtle). The flavours were wonderful fresh together. I ate this as a meal (by itself) but Hubby and Little Miss (DD) ate it as a side dish with Japanese style marinated steak. I made extra to have for lunch tomorrow and there wasn't any left over. Only thing I changed is I left out the sake because Little Miss was going to eat it as well. You could add shreds of red chilli if you wanted something with a bit of a kick. Thank you CHILI SPICE
     
  4. Very light and refreshing salad. It's easy to make, too. I used reduced-sodium soy sauce and still omitted the salt. It was just right that way, in my opinion. Makes a nice summer lunch or starter salad. Thanx for sharing!
     
  5. This recipe was super easy and tasty. I didn't have any sake but it tasted wonderful without it

I AM A MARRIED MOTHER OF 3. COOKING IS A PASSION OF MINE. FINE FOOD MARKETS AND GROCERY STORES ARE MY "HANG OUTS". I LOVE THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO END IN LEARNING. I ENJOY THE WHOLE PROCESS OF COOKING, FROM FINDING A NEW RECIPE, GROCERY SHOPPING, EXPERIMENTING -- RIGHT TO THE DINNER TABLE. MY FAMILY APPRECIATES THE EFFORT I PUT INTO MEALS WHICH IS A WONDERFUL REWARD. ~NO PICKY EATERS HERE~ MY CHILDREN'S MINDS ARE OPEN TO ALL TYPES OF FOOD (WHEN IN MEXICO MY YOUNGEST SON ORDERED QUAIL AT A RESTAURANT AND LOVED IT). <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Grevillia1.jpg">recipe swap 2008 <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/babygrey-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Cooking-Kangaroo-2.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Hebe-1.jpg"> Recipe Swap September 2008 <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/GoldenWattle-1-1.jpg"> Recipe Swap October 2008 <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/boronia-1-1.jpg"> Recipe Swap November 2008 <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/2cockatoos-1.jpg"> Recipe Swap December '08 <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pic53mWVE-1.jpg"> Recipe Swap January '09 <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pichy1L7z-1.jpg"> Recipe Swap February '09 <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pic5BTaSK-1.jpg"> Recipe Swap March '09 <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pickxwB1q-1.jpg"> Recipe Swap April '09 <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picx2XGjA-1.jpg"> Recipe Swap May '09 <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picwJT0Wr-1.jpg"> Recipe Swap June '09 AND July '09 <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picbzMWsf-1.jpg"> Recipe Swap August '09 href="http://www.amazingcounter.com"> <img border="0" src="http://cb.amazingcounters.com/counter.php?i=2319896&c=6960001" alt="Web Page Counter"></a> <img style="visibility:hidden;width:0px;height:0px;" border=0 width=0 height=0 src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.0NXC/bT*xJmx*PTEyMzc5MTY4MjkyNTkmcHQ9MTIzNzkxNzAxNTY3NyZwPTMyMzAwMiZkPW1hcGxvY28mZz*xJnQ9Jm89ZTM*OTQ2YjBkZDAwNDY*ZTg2YzM5MTIzY2E4ZjI5MjY=.gif" /><a href="http://www.maploco.com/view.php?id=3288995"><img border=0 src="http://www.maploco.com/vmap/3288995.png" alt="Visitor Map"></a><a href="http://www.maploco.com/">Create your own visitor map!</a>
