INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Original recipe used soy sauce --- not the low sodium one that I used This salad is subtle and very refreshing. There is a variety of textures - chewy cold noodles, crunchy sesame seeds, and smooth cucumber slices. Sweet, salt and vinegar combine harmoniously, each understated but very much present. Everything except the cucumber and toppings can be combined several days ahead of time. The cucumbers can be prepared ahead also and kept separate until serving. Cook the noodles in boiling water until just tender. Drain and rinse in cold water. Drain thoroughly and transfer to a med-sized bowl. Add vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, and salt. Mix well. Cover and chill until cold. Peel and see the cucumber. Cut into quarters lengthwise, then into thin pieces. If not serving right away, wrap the cucumber pieces in a plastic bag or plastic wrap and refrigerate. To serve, divide noodles among 4 serving bowls. Top wit ha small handful of cucumber slices, and, if desired, a few very thin slices of scallion greens and some sesame seeds. Serve cold.
