Étapes

Make the dressing
In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, sesame oil and water until the sugar fully dissolves. Put it in the fridge to chill while you prepare the rest.
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 tbsp water
✅ C'est prêt quand : sugar is fully dissolved and the mix is cold

Make the thin omelette
Beat the eggs with the salt. Heat the vegetable oil in a small (about 20 cm) nonstick pan over low heat, pour in half the egg and cook about 1 minute per side until just set; repeat with the rest of the egg to make a second thin sheet. Roll both sheets up and slice into thin strips (kinshi tamago).
- 2 eggs
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
✅ C'est prêt quand : egg is set but not browned, like a thin pancake

The Story Behind the Dish
Hiyashi chuka ('chilled Chinese-style') is a Japanese creation: ramen noodles served cold for the hot, humid Japanese summer. Restaurants in Sendai and Tokyo both claim to have invented it in the 1930s.
When it appears on menus, Japanese people know summer has arrived.
⭐ Why It's Famous
Cool, tangy and colourful, it's the perfect lunch when it's too hot to eat anything warm.
💡 Fun Fact
Many Japanese restaurants hang a sign reading 'Hiyashi chuka hajimemashita' ('We've started serving hiyashi chuka') to announce the start of summer.
