Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti or Chinese egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, rinse under cold water, and toss with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and cooled noodles with the sauce. Toss until the noodles are evenly coated.

Step 4

Add the sliced roast pork, scallions, and toasted sesame seeds to the noodles. Toss again to mix thoroughly.

Step 5

If desired, fold in the julienned cucumber and carrot for added crunch and freshness.

Step 6

Serve immediately at room temperature or chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before serving for a refreshing cold noodle dish.

Step 7

Garnish with additional sesame seeds or scallions, if desired, and enjoy!
