    A great twist on a salad. Extremely quick to prepare and fresh tasting. I used medium egg noodles instead of rice noodles and replaced the sugar with canderel to make it even more healthy.

    Rice noodles can be problematic and have a tendancy to stick together. Any other kind of noodle would be fin for this, possibly with the exception of udon.
