Year 2002 i went to Japan to learn japanese drum from our grandmaster's troupe in Nagano, Suwa. I remember one of the Japanese dish that i ate was this cold ramen which has many vegetables added to it and the dish was presented very colorful. This dish is normally comsumed during hot summer. So give this a try if u want something that is easy to make yet healthy and delicious.
Ingredients:
1) Chinese dan dan mian 4 bundles
(Boil and drain in cold ice water and toss with sesame and salad oil)
2) Sesame oil 1 tablespoon
3) Salad oil 1 tablespoon
4) Celery 1/2 stick (Can omit if u don't like celery like me)
5) Japanese cucumber 1/2 stick
6) Egg 1
(Season with salt for taste and cook like pan fried egg and cut into strips)
7) Ham 2 slices
(Can substitute with halal chicken/beef ham)
Sauce:
1) Soup (chicken stock) 1 cup
2) Japanese soy sauce 4 tablespoons
3) Vinegar 2 2/3 tablespoons
4) Sugar 2 teaspoons
5) Sesame oil 2 teaspoons
(Mix all the ingredients for the sauce thoroughly)
To make this recipe more interesting and colorful, you can add tomato in strips, Japanese seaweed in strips, crab stick in strips and also carrot in strips.
So basically just assemble them by putting the sauce in a plate and top with cooked noodle. Then assemble the vegetables and ham/crabstick/egg on top of the cooked noodle nicely. Enjoy~~~
