Essential Ingredients- Salad greens 200g

- Udon noodles 1 package
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the salad greens (200g) and soak them in cold water. Then, drain them well using a colander. Ensuring the greens are completely dry is important to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the delicious secret dressing! Grind the toasted sesame seeds (1 Tbsp) until fine using a blender or mortar and pestle. In a bowl, combine the ground sesame seeds, minced garlic (1 Tbsp), extra virgin olive oil (2 Tbsp), oriental dressing (1 Tbsp), soy sauce (1 Tbsp), lemon juice (1 Tbsp), and honey (1 Tbsp). Whisk everything together thoroughly until well combined. Ensuring all ingredients are evenly mixed is key.
Step 3
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the udon noodles (1 package). Cook for about 1 minute 40 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your stove’s heat and the noodle package instructions. Stir the noodles occasionally to prevent them from sticking together.
Step 4
Immediately after cooking, rinse the udon noodles under cold running water to cool them down. This step helps to achieve a chewier and more springy texture.
Step 5
Drain the chilled noodles very well using a colander and place them in a serving bowl. Drizzle 2 Tbsp of the prepared secret dressing over the noodles. You can adjust the amount of dressing to your preference. It’s also a good idea to gently toss the noodles with the dressing before adding other ingredients to ensure they are well coated.
Step 6
Arrange the drained salad greens on top of the dressed noodles. For an extra layer of flavor, grate some Parmesan or Reggiano cheese over the salad.
Step 7
Finally, top with the chicken breast and crunchy cashew nuts. Your refreshing and healthy Chicken Breast Chilled Udon Salad is complete! You can add a little extra honey if you prefer a sweeter taste. Enjoy your delicious meal!
