Cold soba salad with shiitake dressing

This is an easy and delicious recipe that I found here: http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/cold-soba-salad-with-dried-shiitake-dressing The sauce is just dried shiitake mushrooms, soy, mirin and ginger (the usual suspects). Simmer those, strain and then emulsify with sweet chili sauce and oil. I actually prefer to use garlic chili sauce, and for oil I use sesame. Cook soba noodles and then cool by rinsing in cold water, then dress it all up. Looks like we used julienned carrots, bean sprouts, sesame seeds, and chopped up some of the reconstituted shiitake mushrooms.
