It's a harusame (bean threads) salad flavored with soy sauce based dressing. It's good to add strips of ham if you would like.
Ingredients:
- 1 and 3/4 oz dried harusame, or cellophane noodles (bean thread noodles)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 small cucumber, cut into thin strips
- For dressing:
- 1 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 1/2 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil
Preparation:
Boil water in a medium pot. Boil harusame noodles in the pot, according to the package instruction. Drain harusame noodles in a colander and cool them with cold water. Drain and set aside. Heat some oil in a frying pan, and make one or two sheets of thin omelette. Cool and slice them into strips. Cut drained harusame into 2 to 3 inches long. Put the harusame, cucumber, and omelette in a bowl. Mix sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
Pour the dressing over ingredients and mix well. Cool the salad.
