Ramen Salad with Sesame Dressing at Home
This dish was born in Hokkaido. You don't see it as much at restaurants anymore... but I thought it should be easy to make at home.
After some research, I came up with an easy sesame dressing!
This is a delicious dish on its own, and looks healthy too. Why not make it for your kids, or for a potluck party?
If you think the dressing is too sweet, use less sugar.
You can make a lot of this salad and store it for later, but it's easy so you can make it as you need it. Serving individual portions makes it easier to eat. I recommend this for lunch.
If you add spice with doubanjiang or yangnyumjang, you can quickly transform it into a spice-touced dish. Recipe by Upi

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Mix all the dressing ingredients together, in the order listed: white sesame seeds → sugar → mayonnaise → sesame oil → soy sauce → vinegar. (The texture will change from granular to gel-like to oily to liquid. The thing to watch out for is the thickness of the sauce.)
- 2
Cut the vegetables up into easy to eat pieces. Just whatever you have left over in the refrigerator is fine: tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, green peppers, bean sprouts... anything goes!
- 3
Chop the aromatic herbs too. Shiso leaves, myoga ginger, or ginger; choose any.
- 4
Cut the ham into strips. Slice the imitation crab diagonally. Boil the shrimp briefly and sprinkle salt. Add any of these ingredients if you have on hand. I added leftover tatsuta-age fried chicken.
- 5
Boil the noodles until they are a little bit softer than usual, and cool in ice water. Drain well, and toss with sesame oil (not listed).
- 6
If you are using steamed noodles, blanch briefly in boiling water and untangle, then cool in ice water. Drain well, and mix in sesame oil (not listed).
- 7
Mount the noodles in the middle of a large plate. Surround the noodles with leafy greens and yellow vegetables. Put the protein ingredients on top of the noodles. Or just arrange the plate any way you like.
- 8
Drizzle sauce onto the noodles, and it's done. Serve!
- 9
Here's another example. 1 serving uses 3/4 a portion of noodles. I used less sugar and doubanjiang spicy bean paste in the dressing. I used lettuce, mizuna greens, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, imitation crab and fake Peking duck.

Japanese Seaweed Salad with Sesame & Miso Dressing Japanese Seaweed Salad with Sesame & Miso Dressing
Japanese seaweed salad with sesame and miso dressing is a quick and very refreshing recipe which is perfect to eat during the hot summer weather. I will share with you two different ways to prepare this salad. One with Japanese mustard greens (mizuna); and one with cucumber, red leaf lettuce and tomato.35 years ago in Japan, I was introduced to the Japanese seaweed salad(Kaisou Sarada in Japanese) and fell in love with this dish. An authentic Japanese seaweed salad is not the same as those you get in the Japanese restaurant in the State. If you’ve ever had it, it actually tastes so much better.Video instruction: youtu.be/6XfgAMoe_Gs

I made this when I was out of dressing. It was really good, so I've been relying on it ever since.This is also good with mizuna greens or green bell peppers instead of cucumber.If you leave it standing for too long the tofu will start to exude moisture, so I recommend making it just before you plan to eat it.

Shabu Shabu Pork and Ramen Noodle Salad Shabu Shabu Pork and Ramen Noodle Salad
Ramen salad is available at many izakaya (Japanese gastropubs). I wanted to make it at home too! So I tried it at many restaurants, and experimented a lot to create an easy, one-plate recipe. My favorite combination is shabu shabu pork, sliced onion, blanched bean sprouts and sesame dressing. For a seafood version, frozen seafood mix is fine.You can use any kinds of vegetables you use in a salad. ♪ I used the vegetables we use the most in our house, and the dressing we use the most too, sesame dressing. I recommend using thick crinkly noodles. The dressing coats well and has a nice texture. Boil the noodles at the very end and serve freshly cooked! Recipe by @SAKURA
