Japanese Shrimp & Noodle Salad with Miso Vinaigrette
Toss fundamental Japanese ingredients like miso, wasabi, and soba noodles with fresh vegetables and grilled shrimp. Make the salad a few hours ahead so the flavors have time to meld. Just wait to grill the shrimp until right before serving for the best flavor and texture.

JAPANESE NOODLES:
Udon noodles, which are made from wheat flour, are either round like spaghetti or square and thick. They’re sold both fresh and dried.
Soba noodles are a Japanese staple. They’re made from buckwheat and wheat flour and have a nutty flavor. About the size of spaghetti, they’re eaten in both hot and cold dishes.
Instructions
For the vinaigrette, combine vinegar, canola oil, miso, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and wasabi; season with salt and black pepper. Reserve twothirds of the vinaigrette; pour remaining in a shallow baking dish.
For the salad, toss shrimp in vinaigrette in baking dish; let marinate 30 minutes.
Cook noodles in a pot of boiling salted water according to package directions; drain. Rinse noodles under cold water and transfer to a large bowl.
Add snow peas, bell pepper, cucumber, and radishes.
