Made all three dishes, tuna, noodle dish and cabbage salad and all three were excellent. Two things though, cooking time is laughably off. All the mixing and slicing and dicing, takes much longer and uses a lot of dishes. Also, I doubled everything and four of us had the minimum of leftovers. Also used udon instead of soba and an easy substitute.
