This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my own taste. I added some chili sauce to the sesame sauce for a little bit of heat, and I used a mix of spinach and arugula instead of mixed greens. It turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly and the noodles turned out mushy. I think I might have overcooked them. Otherwise, the dish was good.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more salt or soy sauce. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.
