Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz dried spaghetti or lo mein noodles
  • 3 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup julienned cucumber
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. Boil noodles in salted water until al dente, about 4 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and shake dry.
  2. Whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar until the sugar dissolves.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the cooled noodles with carrots, cucumber, most of the scallions, and the dressing. Let sit for 10 minutes, then toss once more.
  4. Divide into bowls and top with sesame seeds and the remaining scallions. Serve cold.

Notes

If the noodles soak up too much dressing in the fridge, add a splash of soy sauce and a tiny drizzle of sesame oil just before serving.
