“Quick and easy lunch. As soon as I saw this recipe, Iwanted to make it on the spot. At first, I didn’t have napa cabbage or even snow peas, so I used some shredded carrot and regular green leaf lettuce. It was good, and I didn’t think the amount of sesame oil was too much (disclaimer – I do love sesame…a lot). I’m sure it would have been delicious with the other ingredients as well. Even if I made it at home and ate it right away for lunch, I think it would travel well. Benefits: Uses ingredients I had on hand, easy to make. Cons: Can’t really think of any” – From M.S
“I absolutely loved this. Made it with less sesame oil than called for – to my taste a little sesame oil goes a long way. I also made it for one, cutting everything into one-fourth amounts except for the sesame oil and ginger (used less than one-fourth.. just a few drops of sesame oil).” – From M2

“Delicious. I just made a filling on my own and added it to the recipe. I put it in the oven with the cooked wheat berries with milk for about 4 minutes. So delicious and great. I forgot the sugar (I just love addung sugar on everything) and didn’t even notice, I don’t think it’s needed with the raisins already in there. I love using oat groats instead of flakes for my breakfast and now, I can add sesame seeds to that too. Really hearty and filling. Kept me going all day!” – From A
