- NOTE: Original recipe used soy sauce - not the low sodium one which I used
- This salad is subtle and very refreshing. There is a variety of textures chewy cool noodles, crunchy sesame seeds, and smooth cucumber slices.
- Sweet, salt and vinegar combine harmoniously, each understated but very much present.
- Everything except the cucumber and toppings can be combined several days ahead of time. The cucumbers can be prepared ahead also and kept separate till serving.
- Cook the noodles in boiling water till just tender. Drain and rinse in cool water. Drain thoroughly and transfer to a med-sized bowl.
- Add in vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, and salt. Mix well. Cover and refrigeratetill cool.
- Peel and see the cucumber. Cut into quarters lengthwise, then into thin pcs. If not serving right away, wrap the cucumber pcs in a plastic bag or possibly plastic wrap and chill.
- To serve, divide noodles among 4 serving bowls. Top wit ha small handful of cucumber slices, and, if you like, a few very thin slices of scallion greens and some sesame seeds. Serve cool.
