Very tasty. Too much olive oil (I would use 1 1/2- 2c. next time. Needs more heat (sliced thai peppers or extra sriracha? and acid. Mirin might also be a nice addition. Some sliced basil and extra cilantro would be good condiments once dressed.

Quality sauce from a bottle would be much better - this sauce was bland in not properly balanced - I recommend preparing the sauce, tweaking it to see if you CAN find a way to enjoy it - THEN once accomplished - do all of the veggie prep work - which is substantial only to find the sauce - well - sorta sucks. Cheap to toss out an awful sauce - but the other ingredients are too expensive to waste.

Dang yum salad. But better with less olive oil if any at all but do add rice vinegar, fish sauce, fresh lime juice, fresh grated ginger....
Forget the celery. Double up on the carrots or bok choy or sprouts or anything else.

This dish sounds like a great idea for lunch but I did not care for the dressing at all. It did not taste right and was lacking something.

Made this for as a quick lunch today. Very delish! I didnt have all the indigence on hand so I just went with the things I had. Next time I'll add some lime to the dressing, other than that it was perfect! Great for lunch, dinner, picnic, buffet.etc.

I thought this was great although I made several changes to up the flavor! I doubled the dressing and the veg. I used a box of soba noodles which was about 12oz. The following is for the dressing which was fantastic!
2 tsp. sesame oil
4 tabs. rice wine vinegar
1 tsp. sirachi
5 tabs. soy sauce
1 chili, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tabs. hoisin
1 tab. ginger
1/2 lime juiced
4-5 tabs. olive oil

I'm sorry to say this but Guy's sauce is missing the key flavors of a good Asian sauce. First, it's harshly tart - almost acrid. Second it lacks the smooth 'balance' of flavors of a first rate Asian noodle sauce. A good Asian noodle sauce is balance between the tart, sweet, savory with a soft tasting finish. I normally like Guy's recipes but if you've ever tasted an excellent bowl of asian noodles you would see this sauce as severely lacking. I'm sorry to be so negative but I had to write this.

After reading the reviews and those for Emeril's Cold Asian Noodle Salad I decided to combine the two recipes in one for the dressing. So I basically doubled the overall dressing and added 2 gloves of raw minced garlic and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard so that when I immersion blended it the dressing would emulsify. Much better with both dressings combined - Emeril's lacked vinegar and was a bit too sweet. Guy's lacked sweetness and was a bit too vinegary. Best of both worlds when combined.

This was good, but not 5 stars.
