Asian Noodle Salad

I discovered this recipe on pioneer woman's website. Love her recipes and I want to try most of them. If only I had time. But anyway, I love this salad. There are a lot of ingredients to make it but it was completely worth it. It also makes a lot. Next time I go to a pot luck this is what I will probably bring.
