Steps:

• Mix together salad ingredients. I don't usually measure, I just keep add as much as I want of each ingredient until it looks like the picture.
• Put dressing ingredients in a jar. Shake well and pour over salad. You can also add jalapenos to the dressing if you like it spicy.
• Mix with tongs or hands and serve in a large pasta bowl. I always use my hands to mix this. It's so much easier.
• As a side salad it probably serves more like 8 - 10. But if this is all you're eating then it will serve 4 - 6.

• For the dressing: Whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, sesame oil and garlic in a medium bowl.
