Notes
- Running cold water through the noodles and then tossing the noodles in the dressing keeps the noodles from drying out.
- If the noodles are dry, add some soy sauce and rice vinegar for leftovers.
- Keep the peanuts separate until serving, as they will lose their crunch once tossed into the salad.
- Leave out the red pepper flakes if you don't care for spicy, or add a smaller amount, taste and add more if desired.
- Frozen edamame (mame) must be cooked and cooled before adding to the salad.
