Instructions
- Let's make lemon soy sauce. Put the chicken stock powder in a bowl and dissolve in hot water. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Then add the soy sauce and vinegar to the mixture.
- To get most of the juice out of the lemon, roll it on the chopping board while pressing down. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze.
- Measure and add the lemon juice and sesame oil to the mixture. Stir lightly and let the sauce sit in a fridge.
- Let's make sesame sauce next. Chop the spring onion leaf into fine pieces. Slice the ginger root. Chop the slices into fine strips and chop them into fine pieces.
- Combine the sesame paste and sugar in a bowl and stir to mix. Add the soy sauce and stir until evenly mixed. Add vinegar and water to the mixture.
- Add the chopped spring onion leaves, ginger root, sesame oil and doubanjiang. Stir to mix and let the sauce sit in the fridge.
- Let's make fried egg sheet. Crack the egg in a bowl. Add the salt, water and potato starch and stir the mixture thoroughly.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan. Check if the surface is hot enough and pour half of the mixture over the pan. Quickly spread the egg.
- When the egg is almost cooked, turn off the burner. Flip the omelette with chopsticks, cook the other side, and place it on a cutting board.
- Repeat the process and stack the egg sheets on top of each other. Cut the omelettes in half and chop them into 2mm (0.08") strips.
- Let's cut the ingredients for toppings. Cut the tomato in half, remove the stem end and cut into 6 wedges. Chop the ham slices into thin strips.
- Remove the stem end of the cucumber and cut into 7cm (2.8") pieces. Slice the cucumber into thin slices and chop them into 2mm (0.08") strips.
- Remove the root parts of the broccoli sprouts. Rinse the sprouts in a bowl, pour some water and drain with a mesh strainer. Dry the sprouts on a paper towel.
- Let's cook the Hiyashi chuka noodles. Put the noodles in a large pot of boiling water. When the water boils again, reduce the heat to low. Follow the direction on the package for the noodles' cooking time.
- Turn off the burner and rinse the noodles with running water. Let the noodles cool in ice water. Place the noodles in a wire sieve and squeeze out excess water.
- Place the noodles in a bowl, add sesame oil and broccoli sprouts and toss to coat evenly. Arrange the noodles on a plate.
- Garnish the Hiyashi Chuka with the fried egg, ham, cucumber, tomato and boiled shrimp. Finally, top with white sesame seeds.
