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 cookpad.japan -
