Delicious! I don't care for a lot of dressing, so I used about 1/4 of the dressing when the recipe called for using 3/4 and then passed the remainder at table. I also substituted sous vide Skirt for the Strip. Great flavors all around! Thanks Claire & BA!

I love this and even my kids love it. I use cheaper sirloin steak, well-salted and grilled medium rare and sliced against the grain, instead of strip and it tastes great. It's worth seeking out fresh ramen, like Sun Noodles brand from a nicer grocer -- it makes all the difference IMO. I omit the kohlrabi and just use more cabbage to simplify the dish and don't feel like I'm missing anything.

A girl on Hinge recommended this recipe to me. She was smart. We didn't end up hanging out, ya know, because of the Coronavirus? It's cool. I hope she's doing well. Anyway the recipe is great.

I don’t know why people are saying this was good, it was such a weird assortment of things together. Like you don’t even boil the cabbage to soften it??? And I realized there was no seasoning for the steak until halfway through and I’m supposed to just mix raw cabbage and steak together??? I didn’t do any of that because the sauce I made from the recipe became wayyy too salty. I feel like my time prepping was wasted and just settled to make ram-don instead after doing all the work for this recipe.

Great weeknight dinner. Loved the dressing. Definitely advise keeping the 1/4 dressing out as it would have gotten too soggy. We added roasted Brussels sprouts to ours (market out of kohlrabi) and some cucumbers we did a quick rice vinegar pickle on. All in all a great dressed noodle to toss with whatever veggies you have on hand (roasted or fresh)
