Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 3-4 days in the fridge. And because I used rice noodles, they actually hold their structure well for a few days even after tossed in the dressing.
- Make Ahead Tips: You can make the dressing a day in advance or up to 30 days in advance actually, and have it ready to go in the fridge.
- Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However you can use any noodles of choice and vegetables of choice. If you don’t have rice wine vinegar, you can use lemon or lime juice instead.
