The recipe recommends serving the noodles at room temperature but I love them cold right out of the fridge. I like to make the noodles with thin spaghetti but I’m sure soba, lo mein or other Asian type noodles would work great as well. Last week I used Angel Hair pasta, it was tasty, but ended up a little too saucy because the noodles were so thin. Also be careful with the garlic, when it’s raw it can get really strong very quickly.
