Notes

Use gluten-free soy sauce (like tamari) to make the recipe gluten-free.To avoid sticky noodles, rinse them in cold water and toss with a little sesame oil after cooking.This salad is best served cold and keeps for up to 3 days in the fridge.Customize with proteins like tofu, shrimp, chicken, or beef.Keep the dressing separate if making ahead to maintain texture.
