- Add the noodles, stir, and cook until barely tender and still firm, about 7 minutes.
- Drain and rinse under cold running water until cooled.
- Drain well, place in a large transportable bowl, and toss with 1 tablespoon canola oil to keep the noodles from sticking together.

- Pour the dressing over the noodles and toss to coat.
- Add the carrots and snow peas and toss again.
