Tokyo Twist Recipe: Yuzu-Sesame Cold Noodles
The Vibe: Modern Noir meets zesty zest. Its late, the neon is buzzing, and you need something that bites back. Tokyo Twist brings the heat with yuzu-lime acidity and that legendary Sumo Spice crunch.
The neon glow of the city sleeps for no one, and neither does the appetite. A bowl of cold noodles, sharp with yuzu and fire, is the only partner you need at 2 AM.
The Dish: Chilled ramen noodles tossed in a citrusy sesame sauce, topped with fresh herbs, Thai chilies, and a generous heap of Tokyo Twist Chili Crisp.
Ingredients:
2 portions of fresh ramen or buckwheat noodles
- 2 tbsp Sumo Spice Tokyo Twist Chili Crisp
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- Juice of half a lime
- Garnish: Handful of cilantro, scallions, and extra Thai chilies (optional)
Instructions:
Boil & Chill: Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Immediately drain and plunge into an ice bath to keep them bouncy.
2. The Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and lime juice.
3. Toss: Drain the cold noodles and toss with the sauce until every strand is coated.
4. The Twist: Here is where the magic happens. Fold in 2 tablespoons of Sumo Spice Tokyo Twist. The yuzu-lime zip in the chili crisp elevates the citrus notes to another level.
5. Garnish: Plate the noodles and top with cilantro, scallions, and even more chili crisp if you are feeling bold.
The Sumo Secret: Don’t be afraid of the lime. The acidity is what makes the Tokyo Twist pop. It is the ultimate late-night recharge.
