This summer I am trying out some interesting cold dishes. This recipe has been on my mind for a while. Yes its because I love ramen but also because it uses Sprite.

This recipe is simple and is a great side dish or snack. It isn’t too sweet and does have an interesting flavor. You can pair it with cucumber to make a refreshing dish.

Prep your noodles by boiling, drain and then cool it in ice water.

Start by cutting up your cucumber into sticks. In a bowl, add your soup powder and vegetable package and a clove of crushed garlic.

In a pan, heat up some oil and pour the hot oil over the spices. Mix and then add the sprite. To this mixture, add Zhenjiang vinegar and soya sauce. I added about a tablespoon each, tasted and then added more to taste. You can add green onions, cilantro and sesame seeds to this dish.

Pour the sauce onto your noodles. Enjoy as a side dish.
