Crab and snow pea Somen

Presenting what i have been eating the entire weekend...crab somen!
Various reasons...the top one being that i cooked too much....and was too busy/ stressed with assignments to ask friends over to share it..
it's great for bringing to potlucks i reckon...cos it's a cold dish and very easy to make...takes less than 30 minutes in total, including washing up!

175 g canned crab meat, brine reserved
150 g snow pea sprouts, trimmed

dressing
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup rice vinegar
3 tbs soy sauce
