Notes
- Tweak the dressing: Adjust any ingredient to create your preferred flavor profile. We recommend starting with less soy sauce from the get-go to season to taste.
- Cook the noodles until tender: If you cook noodles until al dente, they will firm up when chilled, so it’s actually better to cook them thoroughly.
- For a low-carb version: Try using zucchini noodles.
- To save time: Where possible, use pre-prepared (sliced, shredded, etc.) vegetables.
