Superb! The dressing is delicious! I left out the tomato and cashews, subbed in extra edamame and 1 packet of broken up ramen noodles without the seasoning packet. I did use only 1/3 cup of the brown sugar for the dressing and felt the sweetness was perfect. Chili flakes were a nice addition as well as the toasted sesame seeds.
Thank you for your comment! Very glad you liked the recipe.
Love it! Unfortunately did not have cashews or sesame seeds. Made it as is otherwise.
