Ingredients
For the dressing:
1/2 Cup sugar
1 Tsp salt
1/2 Soy sauce
1/4 Cup sesame oil
1/4 Cup vegetable oil
3/4 Cup rice wine vinegar (substitute champagne vinegar)
1 Tsp garlic power
2 slices of ginger, smashed
For the salad:
1/2 Pack somen noodles, cooked and chilled
1/2 Head of lettuce, shredded
2 Eggs, scrambled
1/2 Cucumber
2 Slices of ham, diced
4 Slices of salami, diced
1/4 Cup green onions, chopped
1/4 Cup imitation crab
Sesame seeds
To make the dressing, combine all of the ingredients into a jar and give it a good shake until the sugar, salt, and garlic have dissolved and you’re done! Store in the fridge, where it will keep for at least a week.
To make your salad, first cook your noodles and chill them in a large bowl with cold water
Cook your scrambled eggs in a flat layer, then remove them from the skillet to cool and cut into squares (or whatever shape you’d like!)
Shred/chop your lettuce and imitation crab (if using) and dice your deli meats
In a 13x9 pan, layers your ingredients, starting with the noodles and then the lettuce. From there you can layer the rest of the ingredients in whatever order you’d like, just don’t forget to add the sesame seeds at the end!
You can either dress the entire salad or leave the dressing on the side for people as they serve themselves, enjoy!
