This recipe is how I found Cookie & Kate YEARS ago. I haven’t made it for a few years now and recently had a huge craving for it, so it’s on the menu for tonight. I live in kind of a remote area, so I didn’t have some of the ingredients for the sauce. Here were my substitutions and the recipe turned out as good as I remember (possibly better). Peanut butter sub homemade cashew butter, soba noodles sub homemade Einkorn WW noodles, tamari sauce sub coconut aminos, fresh cilantro sub dehydrated cilantro (fresh would have been so much better). Our local raw honey has a lemon taste to it, unlike any other I have ever tried. It was perfect. I sampled some, but can hardly wait for dinner.

I rarely leave comments even though I ‘ve enjoyed many C&K recipes over the years… but this particular C&K recipe is the first I tried and one I always come back to, with many variations. It is bold and delicious, versatile, and I wanted to say Thank you!

This was on Kate’s meal plan for the week and my husband loved this recipe. I liked how you can eat it cold. This is part of the nature of a slaw, but it was bit labor intensive shredding all of the vegetables. I used a 4 sided shredder to grate the carrots and even some of the cabbage, which produced a very small and somewhat wet cabbage. It was a bit tricky to mix the noodles and vegetables together so I might cut the noodles in half before cooking if I make this again. The toppings made a big difference in the overall product. Thanks!

In reply to Missy. Hi Missy, you can try peanut oil or walnut oil, which will have a distinctly nutty flavor. I hope this helps.

Hi. I have a family member with a severe sesame allergy. What kind of oil would you substitute for sesame oil? Also, is there anything else you would add to give the flavor zing that you lose by removing sesame oil. Thank you.

I made this for a family bbq and everyone wanted the recipe. This is the best slaw ever.

Amazing. I made it with extra soba noodles and it was perfect – my new go to recipe for soba noodles with peanut sauce. Thank you!

Yum! I doubled the soba noodles to make this into a main dish and added the lime juice and some pepper flakes to the dressing. Next time, I’ll use green cabbage instead of Brussels sprouts as they leave some tough disks when sliced in the food processor. Better yet, I’ll take your suggestion to use a prepared slaw mix. :-) I probably don’t have your kitchen whiz, but this took me about 2 hours from prep to clean-up.

I can’t eat peanuts…anyone tried this with almonds or pumpkin seeds or walnuts?
Otherwise, it sounds great.

Thanks,
Barbara

Hi Kate, is this made with natural peanut butter or Jif-type?
