Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Lo mein noodles
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 150 grams Ham
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool completely.
While the noodles are cooling, prepare the other ingredients: Peel the cucumber and julienne it into thin strips. Julienne the ham into similar-sized strips.
Mince the garlic clove finely and chop the green onions into thin slices for garnish.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and salt until well combined.
Transfer the cooled noodles to a large mixing bowl. Add the cucumber and ham strips, and pour the dressing over the top. Toss everything together gently until the noodles and other ingredients are evenly coated in the dressing.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the top as a garnish.
Serve the cold lo mein immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes for an even cooler dish. Enjoy!
