In Melbourne where I live, January is in the middle of summer. It can be really hot and the temperature could go over 40℃. I don’t want to cook anything on such a hot day. Cold Noodle Dish is ideal for me. If you keep a bottle of ‘Mentsuyu’ (Noodle Dipping Sauce) in fridge, this dish can be prepared in 10 minutes.

– 3 tablespoons Water
– 1/8 teaspoon Dashi Powder

*Note: If you like cold noodles, it’s good to have a bottle of ‘Mentsuyu’ in the fridge. It can be used for many dishes as a seasoning.

2

Heat Cooked Udon Noodles in boiling water, rinse under cold water, then drain.
3

Drain canned Tuna and squeeze to remove excess water. If you use Tuna in water, season lightly with Salt. Tuna in brine doesn’t need Salt as it is already salty.
4

Add Japanese Mayonnaise and Wasabi Paste, and mix well.
5

Place drained cold Udon Noodles in a deep plate, add Tuna mixture on top, scatter Toasted Nori, sprinkle with finely chopped Spring Onion and Toasted Sesame Seeds. Pour cold ‘Mentsuyu’ and enjoy.
