re: Japanese Noodle Salad (Mikimoto)

Sesame Oil is the trick.
I love Mikimoto's noodle salad. I've gone there for lunch before and gotten just that. Hell, I love Mikimoto period. It's where I discovered sriracha 15 years ago.
After trying to figure it out for years, I replicated the noodle salad. Rice noodles, cucumber, mayo, sesame oil, and sesame seeds.
I actually add diced Roma tomatoes as well, and I added shrimp once. Regardless of whatever combination of ingredients I use (even used angel hair once instead of rice noodles) ... as long as you have the mayo and sesame oil you'll get that distinct, delicate flavor that makes Mikimoto's noodle salad so great.

Toasted sesame oil is becoming one of my favorite ingredients.
If I were going to make this salad, I'd do something like this:
- Rice noodle: cook, then chill
- Toasted sesame oil: don't overdo it, it's pretty powerful. For 4 servings, I'd use about a tablespoon*
- good mayo*
- touch of lime juice (or apple cider vinegar, rice wine vinegar, or even white vinegar)*
- pinch or two of sugar*
- touch of soy sauce (to taste)*
- cucumber: julienned
- jumbo lump crab or even imitation crab meat (if desired)
*Mix all ingredients thoroughly before adding to crab, noodles, and cucumber

Yeah the menu says rice noodle but I wouldn't know the difference
Do you have amounts or ratios you stick to? Also do you think you need the Kewpie type mayo to make a big difference or will regular mayo work?
