  • 2 Tbsp white sugar

  • 2 Tbsp sesame seed oil

Directions: 

Remember to practice food safety when cooking!

  1. Wash hands with soap and water. Gently rub produce under cold running water before cutting.
  2. Prepare the somen salad dressing first. Add the shoyu, sugar, and apple cider vinegar to a small pot over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Turn the heat off and add the sesame oil. Transfer to a small container and place in the refrigerator to cool down. 
  3. Prepare the eggs by scrambling or boiling. Cut the finished product into slices and leave on the side to cool off. 
  4. Cook the noodles according to the directions on the package. Once done, rinse noodles with cold water to stop it from cooking. 
  5. Chop the lettuce into small pieces. Slice the kamaboko, carrots, green onion and any other toppings into thin slices.
  6. Divide the everything between two bowls and serve with the salad dressing. This dish is best enjoyed when cold.
