I found the recipe quite bland. I used perhaps 3x the amount of vinegar toasted sesame oil & ginger to give it some flavor. Read More

This salad was easy to throw together and I enjoyed the spicy nutty flavor but the canned bamboo shoots (which thankfully were overlooked the first time i made it) completely ruined it for me; it tasted as if someone had urinated in the salad and i couldn't choke it down...very good without the bamboo shoots though.

I made this cabbage and it was pretty good. I bought broccoli slaw instead of cutting cabbage myself. And I added a little sugar because without it the slaw isn't good. But it is a bit spicy and I plan to make it again really soon. Read More

I like this recipe a lot and make it often. I usually use a bag of slaw mix or a bag of broccoli slaw to help save on time. Always a crowd pleaser! Read More

Amazing flavor I skipped the bamboo shoots and still had an amazing flavor profile. Added a cooked sliced chicken breast to the skillet to soak up some of the yummy sauce and served mixed together. Out of this world. Pros: got me out of a seasonings rut using new spices Cons: bamboo shoots are gross Read More

Very tasty vegan slaw This is so tasty and refreshing with good crunch and just a hint of heat. I liked this so much I had it again for breakfast today and it was even better. I would not add sugar but like most Eating Well recipes you have to correct the seasoning. I am always looking for light and refreshing dishes suitable for days of abstinence and this is perfect. Pros: Colorful and versatile Cons: None Read More
