Garnished with hard-boiled eggs and roasted sesame seeds, this dish provides a balance of flavors and textures. Whether enjoyed as a main course or a side dish, Spicy Cold Noodles bring vibrant flavors to any meal.

• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 whole cucumber, julienned
• 1 whole carrot, julienned
• 1 cup cabbage, thinly sliced
• 2 whole hard-boiled eggs, sliced

Instructions

1. Cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process and remove excess starch.

3. In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked noodles, sauce, julienned cucumber, julienned carrot, and sliced cabbage. Toss everything together until the noodles and vegetables are well coated with the sauce.
4. Divide the noodles into individual serving bowls. Top each bowl with sliced hard-boiled eggs and a sprinkle of roasted sesame seeds.
5. Chill the prepared noodles in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before serving for an extra refreshing taste.
