Hiyashi Chuka

== Description ==
Japanese summer salad with egg noodles and ham. This is a delicious salad served only in the summertime in Japan. I really miss being able to drop by the convenience store and pick up one of these for a fast and easy meal. It's wonderfully refreshing, especially when there's no air conditioning available. Cook time refers to boiling noodles.
== Ingredients ==
=== Soysauce flavor dressing ===
* ⅓ cup water
* 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
* 2 tablespoons soy sauce
* 3 tablespoons sugar
* 1 teaspoon sesame oil 
=== Sesame flavor dressing ===
* ¾ cup water
* 4 tablespoons sugar
* 8 tablespoons soy sauce
* 4 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
* 2 tablespoons ground sesame seeds
* 1 teaspoon sesame oil
* 1 package Chinese egg noodles, boiled and cooled (chuka soba that look like ramen noodles) 
=== Toppings (choose as many as you like) ===
* thin strips of fried eggs, in an omelette
* thin strips ham or poached chicken breasts
* julienned cucumbers
* julliened carrots
* bean sprouts
* sliced tomatoes
* pickled ginger (beni shoga, in little strips) 
== Directions ==
# All ingredients should be as cold as possible for maximum body-chilling benefit.
# Divide chilled noodles among serving plates.
# Add toppings of your choice.
# My personal favorite is ham, omelette, cucumber, carrot, bean sprouts and ginger.
# Add dressing of your choice just before eating.
