As always, this dish is very quick to assemble. And the best part is, you don’t need to stand in front of the hot stove for more than 5 minutes to make yourself or your family a nice, tasty dish that’s great for lunch or dinner.

Let me start by introducing the ingredients: Noodle of your choice (I used Japanese Kan-Ton noodle here), canned tuna, cucumber and kimchi. Whether to use a egg is optional, unless you like to put a poached egg on top.

Cold Noodles with Tuna and Kimchi IngredientsFirst, I cook the noodles, rinse them under cold water and drain well. To save time, I usually make the sauce while boiling the water for cooking the noodle. I added Korean hot pepper paste, sugar, rice vinegar, water, sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds into a container and whisked them together into a sauce. After that, I simply mix the noodles well with the sauce by using a chopstick.
