Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce
    In a bowl, combine rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. Cook the noodles
    Boil the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold running water until completely cooled. Drain well and set aside.
  3. Make the egg crepe
    Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour in beaten eggs and swirl to create a thin layer. Cook until set but not browned. Remove from pan, cool, and cut into thin strips.
  4. Prepare the toppings
    Julienne the cucumber and carrot. Cut the ham into thin strips. Blanch bean sprouts for 30 seconds, then cool in ice water. Drain well.
  5. Assemble the dish
    Divide the cold noodles among 4 serving bowls. Arrange the cucumber, carrot, ham, egg strips, and bean sprouts decoratively on top of the noodles. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  6. Serve
    Pour the chilled sauce over each portion just before serving. Add a small dollop of mustard on the side of each bowl. Serve immediately.
