Notes: The dish is called cold noodle salad, so serve it cold, particularly in the hot weather. Taiwanese usually make cold noodles with store-bought pre-cooked 'oil noodles,' but you can use most kinds of Chinese fresh or dried noodles. Make up a larger quantity of the dressing and keep it in the fridge. It will keep for an extended period, and taste even better after a period of time.
