We are having friends for a BBQ tonight and I thought about making an Asian noodle salad. Any good recipes out there? Thanks!

I posted this one on the "favorite summer salad recipe" thread on 2Peas back in May.
Killer Noodle Salad
15 oz Yakisoba noodles (rice noodles)
1-1/2 tsp sesame oil
1/3 cup rice vinegar
juice & grated peel of one lime
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
2 tbsp sugar
2 cloves minced garlic
1 cup grated carrot
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
3/4 cup dry roasted peanuts
Mix and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
This is one of my all time favorite salads. Don't be afraid of the amount of cilantro and red pepper flakes in it... it's meant to be a "killer" salad, but I don't find it overly hot.

I like Pioneer Woman's sesame noodles with broccoli, snow peas and water chestnuts added in.

1 package beef or chicken ramen noodles
16 oz. package coleslaw mix
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
3 green onions, sliced
Break noodles and combine in salad bowl with above ingredients. Whisk dressing ingredients together and toss with salad about 15 minutes before serving.

Here's my recipe; we call it "Dead People Salad".... That would be a great side dish to the Funeral Sandwiches, and Belle's Dead Aunt's Cookies could be dessert!  |

This but I like to serve it on a small bed of shredded lettuce and add cucumber matchsticks to it. I serve it also as an eggroll salad, with quartered egg rolls served on top. One of my favorite salads. YUM! ETA: when serving w/egg rolls, I have a side of duck/plum sauce for dipping. |

I've seen this kind of recipe before, but I've never tried one. Do the noodles soften up as they sit in the dressing? Or do they stay crunchy? I don't think I'd want hard uncooked noodles in my salad... |

Should I dress the salad early and let the flavours marinade?

I prefer to wait till time to serve to put the dressing on. The crunchiness is what I like about this salad.
