I made this salad exactly as the recipe called for. It was delicious. Served it for company last night and everyone loved it, even one of the "picky" eaters. It had a lot of flavor and the bacon was the key. i would recommend making it the day before then letting it come up to room temperature before eating. I also added the bacon at the last minut.
This was a very unusual salad that my family wants me to make again and agin. The change I made was using Soba noodles instead of Chinese wheat (our store did not have the wheat noodles). Everything else I kept the same. Tons of flavor.
Tip: Having never used soba noodles before I did not realize how much starch they produced. We rinsed them 3 times to get the starch out (not sure if you are suppose to do that but it was way too much starch for us). Also, we made this a day ahead and then let it come up to room temperature to allow the flavor to really come thru
I made this exactly as the recipe states. I was a little skeptical of the flavorings at first but this was outstanding. My husband, son and wife and 2 grandkids loved it. Only had a small container left when it was all done.
I'll start off by saying I made this exactly as the recipe stated. It was extremely easy and I was skeptical because you did not brown the beef first. However, it turned out very well. I did not give it 5 stars as I did have to add some more spices (I added kitchen bouquet after the stew was all cooked and we tasted it). What i really liked about this recipe was the fact that it was quick and while not exactly with the same depth of flavor a "traditional" stew has, very good. I will definitely make it again, especially if I need a good flavorful hearty meal in a hurry
