Has anyone ever had any luck recreating the noodle salad that you get as an app from Mikimoto? I found what I thought was a similar recipe online the other day but it was pretty disgusting.

For those that haven't had it, it is a cold noodle salad with a mayo based dressing.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but give this video a watch:

Uses a soy-vinaigrette rather than mayo-based.

I have a Japanese friend I can ask for you. A couple questions for clarification:

- What type of noodle? (spaghetti, rice, udon, somen, etc.)
- Were there any vegetables that you could identify? (a lot of these have cucumber, red onion, nori)

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.

They might be using Kewpie Mayo. Haven't been to the restaurant though.
