This is
an old family fave we always had at parties. Total simple to make and so light
that you could eat the whole tray yourself.
But don't.


In gredients:
½ pkg. somen (8-10 oz), boiled 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped char siu sliced in thins strips 2 eggs, fried crepe style & sliced in thin strips ¾ of a kamaboko sliced in strips 2 stalks green onion, chopped
First boil the somen in water for only 5 minutes, don't go over or I swear it will be glue-like.
Immediately rinse it or it will continue to cook. I usually run my (clean) hand through it cause it's still hot in the middle - see right.


In case you don't know what KAMABOKO is - it's a "fish cake". Don't freak, it's not that bad, it has virtually no taste it just adds a lot of color. You'll sometimes see it floating in a bowl of hot Japanese noodles.
Here's the packaging above, and to the right is what it looks like cut up for the salad.

Now start laying down the ingredients.
First up, the cooled, drained noodles...




In gredients:
salad dressing: 1 Tablespoon sesame seeds 2 Tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1/8 cup sesame oil 1/8 cup cooking oil 3 Tablespoons vinegar 2 Tablespoons shoyu
and finally the kamaboko and green onion!
Now just mix the sauce and add it on at the last minute and you're ready to serve!
