This dish comes from Minneapolis chefs Jamie Malone and Erik Anderson. Pay attention to how you cook the noodles: You don't want them too soft or mushy, but with a pleasant, chewy texture.

I decided to try this after having a week of leftovers from Thanksgiving and what a great dish!! I did add some extra noodles (about 6 ounces total) and about 1/2 lb of crab, but other than that followed the recipe and we were so pleased with the results!! Tasty but not heavy and this will be a go-to for a light supper for us. I served some veggie egg rolls that I purchased from a local market and we were good. Thanks for another success!!

This is a lovely refreshing yet hardy salad. Very important to use low sodium soy sauce. Yum
