Perfect for us the way it was. Served with Tuna and wasabi sauce.

Wonderful, tasty and easy-to-make side dish. I made this as written -- we loved the flavours. The heat really cleaned out my sinuses. In future I would cut the wasabi back to 2/3 tablespoon. Thanks for such a powerful recipe. Yummo!

WOW, what a yummy salad. It was simple and delicious and enjoyed by all of us. I used soba noodles instead of egg noodles as that's what I had on hand and I think they are good in Japanese cold noodle salads. I also used grated fresh ginger as I didn't think ground ginger would be as good. Step one is a little confusing, but I cooked and drained the noodles, then tossed them in the sesame oil.
