re: Japanese Noodle Salad (Mikimoto)

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
