How To Make Cold Sesame Noodle
To start, you’ll need to cook the noodles properly by following the instruction on the package. After cooking, drain the noodles and rinse them with cold water. Set the noodles aside while preparing the sesame dressing. The sesame dressing is the star of this dish, adding a rich and nutty flavor. In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the dressing and stir consistently until the sugar has dissolved completely. Now it’s time to assemble the dish. Transfer the cooked noodles to a shallow plate or bowl. On top of the noodles, arrange fresh tomato slices, julienned cucumber, and slices of ham. Finally, drizzle the sesame dressing generously over the noodles and toppings. The dressing will infuse the dish with its distinct sesame flavor, adding depth and complexity to each bite. Enjoy.
Cooking Tips
Cook the noodle followed by the instruction on the back of the package. Different kinds of noodles will have a particular way and time to cook them. Do Not overcook the noodles. Rinse the cooked noodles with cold water or soak them in ice-cold water. This step not only stops the cooking process but also helps to remove any excess starch, resulting in a delightful chewy texture.
