Best Noodles For Salad

With Ramen noodles too it tastes great. Sp practically this is one of those recipes however you make them it tastes best.
Peanut Dressing
Peanut sauce is incredibly delicious, flavourful and quick. All you need is mix the ingredients and whisk them. You can keep the consistency of sauce as per your choice.
You just need to adjust the quantities of liquids used in the recipe. I like to keep the peanut sauce towards thicker side as it sticks better to the noodles. If you are making it thinner you can make it more like salad dressing consistency.
