As previous reviews mentioned, I went to buy SEASONED rice vinegar (aka sushi vinegar. I didn't really measure out the amounts, but tried to go as proportional as possible (for 2 people. I actually added more vinegar and soy sauce to the sauce (as a substitute for not adding any Sriracha. It tasted superb. As is custom to many Asian cold noodles, I grated half a cucumber and carrot, sliced a bit of ham, and added that to the mixture. This really turned out quite nice. I made this for a surprise visit to my boyfriend and needed something made ahead of time. He loved it. Mom is requesting it now, too. I definitely recommend it.

Tried this twice, both times I found the amount of Sriracha was too much for me. I ended up using just shy of 1 tsp, but I am kinda a wimp on spiciness. Also, the sauce starts out fine, but thickens and goops up quickly as it cools. Served at room temp is OK, but cold is nearly impossible to separate noodles. The flavor is good, but probably won't make again.
