The perfect quick meal when I don’t feel like cooking but I’m really craving noodles.

Steps

30 min

1

Put a pot of water to boil and cook noodles according to packet instructions.
2

In the same pot, or a separate pot, add the eggs and boil for 6 minutes.
3

While the noodles and eggs are cooking, add the sauce ingredients into a bowl and whisk together. Taste and adjust according to your preference.
4

Cut the cucumber into whatever shape you prefer. I cut mine into an accordion and then smashed it with the back of a knife to create scraggly edges which soak up the sauce beautifully.
5

Add cucumber to the bowl with the sauce and allow to marinate for a few minutes.
6

When the eggs and noodles are done cooking, strain them and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
7

Add the noodles to the bowl with the cucumber and sauce. Mix together.
8

Peel the eggs carefully, cut in half, and place them on top of the cucumber noodle salad.
9

Finely slice the green onion and use as a garnish with a heavy sprinkling of sesame seeds and a drizzle of sesame oil. Enjoy!
