Ingredients
  

For the Noodles & Protein:

  • 80-100 g high-fiber soba noodles
  • 6-8 shrimp about 80g
  • 1 tbsp cooking wine

For the Vegetables:

  • 80 g cucumber julienned
  • 50 g carrot julienned
  • 100 g mung bean sprouts
  • 3-4 imitation crab sticks about 60g

For the Sauce:

  • 15 g minced garlic 5-6 cloves
  • 10 g Thai bird's eye chilies sliced (2-3 chilies)
  • 30 ml light soy sauce 2 tbsp
  • 15 ml Chinese black vinegar 1 tbsp
  • 15 ml oyster sauce 1 tbsp
  • 1 g salt 1 small pinch
  • 15 ml olive oil 1 tbsp
  • 30-45 ml cooled boiled water 2-3 tbsp
  • 5 g chili powder 1 tsp
  • 8 g white sesame seeds 1 tbsp

For the Egg Ribbon:

  • 2 eggs
  • A small pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Prep Ingredients: Julienne the cucumber and carrot. Slice the chilies and mince the garlic. Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt.
  • Cook Toppings: Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Blanch the crab sticks, bean sprouts and julienned carrot for 1-2 minutes until just tender. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. In the same water, cook the shrimp with 1 tbsp of cooking wine for 1-2 minutes until pink. Remove and set aside.
  • Make Egg Ribbon: Lightly oil a non-stick skillet over low heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and swirl to form a thin layer. Cook for about 1 minute per side until set. Roll up the cooked egg and slice into thin ribbons.
  • Cook Noodles: In a separate pot, cook the soba noodles according to package directions (usually 5-6 minutes). Drain and immediately rinse under cold water to stop the cooking and prevent sticking.
  • Make Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients: minced garlic, sliced chilies, soy sauce, vinegar, oyster sauce, salt, olive oil, water, chili powder, and sesame seeds.
  • Assemble: Place the cooled noodles in a bowl. Top with the blanched vegetables, shrimp, crab sticks (shredded), and egg ribbons.
  • Serve: Drizzle the sauce over everything and toss well to combine. Enjoy immediately.
