    Oops! I didn't make this recipe yet, bu in looking at the full nutritional breakdown, it appears that the calories for the ramen noodles and the almonds were not added in (which probably adds a lot). If you make this, be sure to calculate those in separately when tracking your calories. - 2/4/10

    Very good. I made this for a friend's retirement party, and she just loved it. If you have a problem with Rooster sauce, substitute Louisiana Hot Sauce; just as tasty, and veggie all the way. - 9/17/09

    This was really yummy but just to let you know, this isn't completely vegetarian if you add the chili paste. The kind I found (red chili paste) had all kinds of seafood in it and I didn't realize it until it was too late! =( - 6/24/09

    wonderful and easy recipe, and yes, it is vegitarian, but not completely VEGAN if your chili paste (rooster sauce) happens to be made from seafood. but it sure doesn't take away from this recipe's 5 star rating :-) - 8/1/09

    Sounds good. May try with a few substitutions...maybe tempeh for the chicken, and regular cabbage as I don't have Napa at the moment. - 3/24/10
