Steps
- 01
Mix 40 ml soy sauce, 40 ml rice vinegar, 18 g sugar, 12 ml sesame oil and 50 ml water; chill dressing. Wash and shred 150 g cucumber and 160 g tomato; slice 100 g ready-to-eat cooked ham.
- 02
Beat two eggs. Thinly oil a pan with 5 ml oil and cook two thin egg sheets over medium-low, turning until both sides and centers are completely set. Cool and slice into strips.
Cool fully set egg sheets promptly on a clean plate before slicing. Check no runny egg remains and wash any utensil that touched raw egg. - 03
Cook 280 g ramen noodles fully according to the package in boiling water. Quickly rinse under cold running water, drain well and divide into two bowls.
- 04
Divide cucumber, tomato, ham and egg strips over noodles, then pour chilled dressing equally. Eat promptly; refrigerate leftovers within two hours.
If not serving immediately, refrigerate noodles, fully cooked egg strips, ready-to-eat cooked ham and sauce separately in clean sealed containers at 4°C or below and combine just before eating. Verify the ham is ready-to-eat, not uncooked.
Before you cook
Contains wheat, egg, soy and sesame; check ham labels. Use ready-to-eat cooked ham, fully set eggs, and keep cold noodles and vegetables refrigerated; do not leave out over two hours. Keep cooked noodles, ham and egg strips chilled at 4°C/40°F or colder until immediately before serving; add dressing at serving time.
Allergens: wheat, egg, soy, sesame, check ham for milk or other allergens
