Asian Noodle Salad

Submitted by Pasta-Bella

"This became one of our favorite salads this summer. It is modeled after a similar salad at a local deli. My niece prefers it served warm as a noodle dish rather than a salad."

directions

1. Combine oyster, black bean, soy and chili sauces, sugar, vinegar, and oil to make dressing.
