This salad is a great way to use up leftover noodles. I always have some extra noodles in the fridge, and this is a great way to use them up.

I've never been a fan of noodle salads, but this one changed my mind! The flavors are so well-balanced and the textures are perfect.

This salad was a bit too spicy for me, but I think that's just a personal preference. I'll try making it again with less chili sauce.

I love how customizable this salad is. I often add grilled chicken or tofu for some extra protein.
