This is a recipe from my mom, Anne, who made these a lot when we were growing up. This is a very simple recipe. The dish is served cold and would be a great addition as a main or side to a summer meal. The noodles you want to use might say something like “Japanese Style Noodles” or “Shirasagi” and look like this. They are thin wheat noodles in small bundles and are available at Asian food stores or even your regular grocery store/ health food store.
The Recipe
Serves 4
2 bundles of shirasagi noodles
2 sheets roasted nori seaweed, crumbled
1 Tbls toasted sesame seeds
1 clove garlic, crushed or finely minced
scant 1/3 cup sesame oil
3 Tbls soy sauce or more to taste
2 scallions, finely chopped
Bring pot of water to boil. Cook noodles for 2-3 minutes (taste for tenderness). Drain and rinse noodles really well to remove all excess starch. Toss in bowl and mix everything together except seaweed. All noodles should be tan/colored by the sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Crumble seaweed and toss again.
