The refrigerator light goes on...

This salad is excellent with brown rice Pad Thai noodles and Annie Chun's brand is pretty easy to find. When cooking this type of rice noodle it is a good idea to keep your eye on the pot and check for doneness frequently. The noodles don't take very long to cook and if they are overcooked, they will fragment and not be great in salad.

It is a good idea to drain and rinse them with cold water (or even plunge them into an ice water bath) to stop them from cooking further. Adding them to the teriyaki sauce quickly can help them from getting gummy and sticking together.

Recipes that use prepared sauces can make your life so much easier. There are some great quality teriyaki sauces on the market and even gluten free versions but keep your eye open for lower sodium varieties. For example, the Kikkoman contains only 200 milligrams of sodium per tablespoon.
