This was excellent! I substituted sesame tahini for the peanut butter, and added some crushed red pepper flake (about a tablespoon), and this was great on cold soba noodles with veggies. I was really just looking for a good asian-style dressing for cold noodle salads, and I think this was just the ticket. I even put some of the dressing onto some shrimp before throwing them onto the grill and even that was delicious. The only thing I would want to change would be the spice level- I LOVE spicy food!. I think I will add some chili-garlic paste to it next time around, but this is definitely going into the book for future use! Thanks so much for the recipe!!

First of all, this had a great flavor! I used a bag of broccoli slaw, and added green onions and cilantro. (I didn't have the red peppers.) The slaw had good flavor; however, I would suggest not putting the dressing on the whole batch, if you're not going to eat it all at once, as the slaw gets too soggy, after sitting.
