    Easy and tasty — an unbeatable combination! I served this at a dinner party with international guests (from Cameroon and China), and there wasn't a morsel left at the end of the meal. It was a real hit, and I'll definitely be making it again. Thanks for posting this!

    This was good, but both my boyfriend and I thought the soy sauce taste was stronger than what we get in Japanese restaurants (maybe Japanese soy sauce would make it more authentic, we just used Kikkoman). Next time think would reduce the soy sauce or try a Japanese soy sauce. But overall very good!

    This is a very nice salad. I used a naturally brewed soya sauce and dark sesame oil. I found this to be a bit too sweet for my taste and would add less sugar next time. Thanks for posting.
