Instructions

  1. 01

    In a pot of boiling water, cook noodles until slightly more cooked than al dente (use the time included on the package directions). Drain well, then toss with the neutral oil so the noodles don’t stick to each other. Spread noodles out in a thin layer on a tray and refrigerate until fully chilled, about 1 hour.

  2. 02

    While the noodles are chilling, stir the sesame paste with the warm water until smooth. Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, sugar, and seasoning oil until thoroughly combined.

  3. 03

    Toss the chilled noodles with about 6 tablespoons (90ml) of the vinaigrette until thoroughly coated. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, cucumbers, scallions, and chili garlic sauce (if using), and serve.
