"I made this thinking it was going to taste funny because I could not find chinese cabbage in any of my stores. Since I couldnt not find it, I used coleslaw mix. Well... it was amazing and very filling. Will definitely make again!"

"Very good! I took it to a large family function and everyone enjoyed it. I used regular cabbage since I could not find the chinese cabbage. Very easy and very cheap to make."

"I used seasame oil for more sesame flavour and I also added chopped waterchestnuts ( added another little extra crunch). I may try a little ginger next time too. All in all, the salad was a hit with everyone! Even my seven yearold cleaned his plate!! Super easy to make as well as inexpensive!!"

"I just love oriental cabbage salads and this was so good! I did use regular cabbage, that's what I had on hand. Thanks! Made for the My Three Chefs event in the contests/events forum."
