Tips

  • For even better flavor, refrigerate the salad for about 15 minutes before serving to let the dressing soak in.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy by the next day.

Substitutions

  • Glass noodles: Mung bean glass noodles are recommended.
  • Ham: Substitute imitation crab sticks (kanikama) or steamed chicken.
  • Vinegar: Rice vinegar or another mild, neutral-tasting vinegar works well.
