Beautiful, colorful & all in all a delicious recipe. I couldn't find my sliced almonds, so left those out, I used half red & half green cabbage and I only used 2 TBL of the sugar. At the table the sauce was still too sweet for DH to eat. DS (15) & I thought it too sweet also & that it needed more sambal oelek to balance the sugar, but we were still able to eat it. DD (2) really gobbled up the chicken & that is rare. DS enjoyed it more as a salad, while I enjoyed it both ways. In fact, I hope that when I make it again, adjusting the sweet/spicy it will be agreeable to the entire family becuase I really, really liked the sauce. The over-sweetness made it taste a little like teriyaki sauce (which may be another reason why DH didn't like it). I wouldn't normally give a recipe 4 stars that someone in the family couldn't eat, but this is a simple case of personal preference, I don't downgrade for that & I am determined to make it again. I saved the leftovers & can't wait to try it tomorrow. UPDATE: Leftovers are delicious. The flavors that were too sweet to begin with had melded perfectly & I ate it right out of the bowl from the fridge. I think this turns out to be my personal favorite ramen recipe. Thanks for sharing your creation! Made for Fall 08 Dining on a Dollar - Ramen noodle challenge.
