Instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients
Wash the cucumber, and dice the cucumber, ham, and shiitake mushrooms separately. Mince the fresh ginger. Blanch the shiitake mushrooms and green peas, and set aside.
2
Make the four cold sauces
Take 4 small bowls. In each bowl, mix a different flavored cold dressing: combine the minced ginger, aromatic vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil to make a ginger-vinegar sauce; whisk the sesame paste with refined salt and a little cooled boiled water to make a sesame paste sauce; stir the doubanjiang, chili oil, sesame oil, and stock into a spicy bean sauce; blend the mustard, soy sauce, aromatic vinegar, and sesame oil into a mustard sauce. Cook the noodles, rinse under cold water, and arrange them on a serving plate.
3
Plate and serve
Sprinkle the cucumber, ham, shiitake mushrooms, and green peas over the noodles, and bring the four prepared cold sauces to the table alongside.
