A dish I ate at a Chinese restaurant in the Philippines inspired this recipe. I guess it was the combination of Philippine and Chinese cuisine that I couldn't forget: The cold noodles were topped with stir-fried vegetables and fresh squid. I use smoked salmon instead and think this version tastes even better than the original.
