Japanese cold ramen for summer

Hiyashi chuka – “chilled Chinese” – is a refreshing Japanese summer dish of cold ramen noodles with colourful toppings and a tangy sauce.

The noodles are ice-chilled and fanned out with egg, cucumber, ham or prawns; a sauce of soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil ties it all together.
