Been making this one since it first appeared in the magazine, and it's always good and really refreshing on a hot summer night. Use whatever Asian vegetables you have--I often throw in snow peas, or steamed broccoli, red bell pepper, cucumber. Sometimes I used Wildwood baked and marinated tofu instead of the usual tofu as well, sometimes shrimp. This is always good.

nice and easy. the dressing is flavorful and strong enough to season both the boiled noodles and the tofu. rounded off with the vegetables for texture, this is a good recipe.

my husband and I loved this salad - I didn't have time to press the extra-firm tofu I had, but I did marinate as another suggested. added green pepper and green onions because I had them on hand, and left out the bean sprouts because I didn't have them. will definitely make again!

I used a coleslaw mix and whole wheat soba noodles. Served with Seared Scallops with Citrus Ginger Sauce and Sesame-Ginger Glazed Asparagus. Excellent!

I would use less soy sauce, but otherwise it's tasty.
