Tips

  • For extra flavor, toast the mushrooms slightly longer until they develop a crispier edge. This adds another layer of umami.
  • This salad can be made ahead of time. Store the noodles and mushroom mixture separately in the refrigerator and combine with the dressing just before serving to prevent the noodles from becoming soggy.
