  1. Beware this recipe makes a lot. I had cut this recipe in half and there was still so much leftover. The prep time is really pretty quick if your chicken is already cooked, no where near 45 minutes to prep. Other than cutting the recipe in half I added a little extra brown sugar as well as a bit of sweet soya sauce with the regular soya sauce. I just found it needed a bit more sweetness that is why I added extra. But I still found it to be missing something, just not sure what. It was a flavorful salad anyways and we enjoyed it for lunch with my egg rolls. Thanks for sharing your recipe Gingerbear.
     
  2. This was really good with leftover sliced steak. I didn't have any sesame oil or sesame seeds but it was still very tasty. Even my DH who thinks every meal has to have a hot chunk of meat, preferably with mashed potatoes and gravy, liked this on a hot summer day.
     
  3. I loved this recipe!! I made it for a potluck and many people commented on how good it was and wanted the recipe. I used oriental rice sticks for noodles and chili a tablespoon of chili paste in place of the chili oil. I will certainly be using this recipe in the future.
     
  4. I made this exactly as directed and thought it was very bland. I took it to a pot luck at work and it barely got touched - no one asked for the recipe or even commented on it. I ended up throwing more than half of it away and I'm kind of mad because I specifically went out and bought the rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, chili oil, sesame seeds and fresh ginger
     
  5. This was a really great recipe! Today was the first day of the year we were able to put the top down on my car, so it only seemed natural to serve a summertime dinner! Everyone enjoyed it, and my husband even had three helpings! Then requested that i make it camping this year. Thanks for a keeper!

  2. This was delicious! My roommate and I devoured almost the whole bowl in 2 days! I made a few minor changes just due to personal preference...I cut back the 1/2 C of canola oil to 1/8 C and increased the sesame oil to 5 T. I also added about 2 T chili oil as I like things spicy! Instead of a fresh carrot I used a bag of frozen peas/carrots that I had thawed out. This salad really was yummy!! Thanks Gingerbear:)
     
  3. I loved this! It made a LOT though. As another reviewer stated, I cut back on the soy sauce, too. I cut the brown sugar in half (personal preference). One pound of pasta (I used linguine) is really a lot when you add all the other ingredients. I had to use my other refrigerator to store it. I can't stop eating it. Instead of the chili oil I used garlic chili paste and I also topped the salad with crushed red pepper flakes to give it some ZING! I know what I'm taking to my next barbecue. Thanks for a great recipe.
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 11 years now. We live on 40 acres and have 6 dogs and 4 Tennessee Walkers. We both work a lot of hours so there is never enough time in a day to get everything done. I absolutely love the outdoors. I also enjoy lifting weights, reading and playing with all of my beautiful animals. I absolutely love, love and love to cook. I like to cook a variety of things and also like love to bake. I like to just get in the kitchen and experiment with different things. If something does not turn out for me such as pie crust or gravy I will keep trying until I can make it work. Only problem is, when I finally make it work it may not work again the time after that. It is fun though and I do consider myself a pretty good cook for the most part. I also love slow cooker recipes. Those are my most favorite in the winter months.
