Hayashi Chuka, Chilled Ramen

May 11, 2020 by Benjamin and Koshiki Leave a Comment

Hayashi Chuka, Chilled Ramen This is what my children would ask for dinner as soon as the weather warms up: Chilled curly wheat noodle topped with cool cucumber, crunchy carrots, juicy and vibrant tomato and chilled and shredded meat (or substitute tofu) drizzled with refreshing sesame vinaigrette. Most of all, this salad-like noodle dish has well-balanced ingredients (grain, vegetable, protein, seeds, egg), the balance of flavor element (sweet, sour, salty, fatty, and pungent), and will make you full and satisfied.

Toppings for Hiyashi Chuka is forgiving, and you can add almost anything to make it your own. To make vegetarian, we substitute meat with sliced kitsune, follow the instructions for making abura-age in the recipe below:
