1

Prepare vegetables as directed. Toss together in a large salad bowl.
2

Break noodles into smaller pieces and add to a small bowl. Cover with very hot water and allow to sit until softened - do not fully cook, you just want a softer crunch. Spread softened noodles out on a clean towel and pat dry.

Combine olive oil, rice vinegar, fresh ginger, fresh garlic, maple syrup, and miso paste in a mini food processor and blend until smooth. Toss salad in dressing and top with dried noodles, mandarin oranges, and sliced almonds. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
