Glass Noodle Salad Asian Style With Soy Sauce

If there's one cuisine I never get tired of, it's probably Asian! There's nothing like a filling portion of rice (in any form) accompanied by fresh vegetables and soya products of all kinds! I could bathe myself in soya sauce - paired with tofu and edamame makes me feel like I’m in heaven. When things have to be relatively quick during the week and I prefer something light and cold, then an Asian glass noodle salad is the way to go. I deliberately chose rice-based glass noodles for this recipe as I find them a lot more filling than their mung bean counterparts. After all, we don't want to be hungry again half an hour after eating.
