JAPANESE NOODLE AND CUCUMBER SALAD
SUNOMONO

(Still Life With Menu)

5 - 6 oz. dry vermicelli noodles (Japanese saifun or Chinese bean thread noodles are best, but regular vermicelli works fine)
6 Tablespoons rice vinegar
4 teaspoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 - 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
1 medium cucumber
for garnish: extra sesame seeds and thinly sliced scallion greens

 

Cook noodles until just tender. Drain and rinse in cold water and drain thoroughly again. Put noodles into a bowl and add vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, and salt. Mix well. Cover and chill until cold.

Before serving, peel and seed the cucumber. Cut into quarters lengthwise. Put noodles in bowls, top with some cucumber slices, sprinkle extra sesame seeds over the top and garnish with some sliced scallion greens.
