SO HOW'D IT GO?
WOW. agreed with all the positive reviews! This only took me as long to boil the pasta that I had. I just played along with the ingredients of the dressing by eye, and it came out amazing!!!!!!! I bet this would be really good with soba noodles. yummm.
i love this recipe and make it as often as possible, with a variation in between the original and baypuppy's. i use 1 tbsp of sesame oil, 2 overspilled tbsp of lemon juice, 1 tbsp of soy sauce, and a couple splashes of chili garlic sauce. i also never use salt, as the lemon juice makes it tart enough. thanks for the recipe!
