Hiyashi Chuka ( Cold Ramen )
Hiyashi chuka literally means “cold Chinese.” This is a popular noodle dish in the summer in Japan. This is the standard recipe, but chefs in Japan are known to be very creative with this dish: From pickled kimchi to abalone, no topping is unexpected. Cold ramen almost resembles a salad—and any sort of meat, vegetable, or spice you can imagine throwing in a salad could work in a bowl of hiyashi chuka. The ramen is usually served in a glass bowl, with the toppings arranged very neatly on top. One of the most artistic ramen dishes around.

Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1⅓ pounds fresh noodles such as Chukasuimen
- 5 cups Light Vegetarian Soup chilled
- 4 cups ham sliced , about 20 ounces
- 8 cucumbers Japanese or Persian, sliced
- 4 tomatoes cut into wedges
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
- Coat the bottom of a large skillet lightly with oil and heat over medium heat. Pour in the eggs to make one large, thin omelet. When the eggs are firm, transfer to a cutting board. Cut the omelet into thin strips and set aside to be used as a topping.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the noodles. Ramen that has been cut to a standard thickness (about 1 mm) will cook in 1 to 2 minutes.
- Strain the noodles and run under cool water until the noodles are at room temperature.
- Carefully place the noodles in your ramen bowls, keeping them tidy. Pour the cold soup over the noodles.
- Top with the egg strips, ham and cucumber slices, and tomato wedges.

Notes
The easiest way to slice the omelet is to first roll it up like a jelly roll, then cut it in thin slices. Unroll the slices by just moving them around with the tip of your knife. If your ham is in thin slices, like deli ham, you can cut it the same way.
