How to Make Asian Shrimp Salad

1. Cook 8 ounces of soba noodles in a large pot of boiling water for 3-5 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and rinse immediately under cold water to stop the cooking process and prevent sticking. Set aside to cool.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss the cooled soba noodles with the dressing.
3. Refrigerate the noodles for at least 30 minutes to chill thoroughly.
4. While the noodles chill, prepare the chili-lime sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup chili garlic sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
5. Refrigerate the chili-lime sauce until ready to serve.
6. In a large bowl, combine the chilled noodles with 1 cup of your favorite vegetables (e.g., shredded carrots, sliced bell peppers, shredded cucumber).
7. Divide the noodle mixture evenly among 4 plates.
8. Arrange 4 ounces of cooked shrimp on top of each noodle portion.
9. Drizzle each plate generously with the chili-lime sauce and a spoonful of hoisin sauce. Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions.
