Instructions
Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse the noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sesame paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and cold water until smooth and well-combined. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if the sauce is too thick.
Divide the cooked and chilled noodles into serving bowls.
Top the noodles with the julienned cucumber, julienned carrot, and sliced scallions.
Drizzle the sesame sauce evenly over the noodles and vegetables. Toss gently to coat everything in the sauce.
Slice the soft-boiled eggs in half and place them on top of the noodles in each bowl.
Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the dish for added texture and flavor.
If desired, drizzle chili oil over the noodles for a spicy kick.
Serve immediately and enjoy the cool, savory flavors of the chilled sesame ramen.
