Garlic Cucumber Noodle Salad
This is a cold noodle dish, ideal for a hot summer's day. The cucumber and carrot add a refreshing touch. What really makes these noodles stand out though is the chili sauce: we love LGM (Lao Gan Ma)! Enjoy it for a snack or as a side dish.

Any dry udon noodle works. I like the Korean-style udon because it's chewy when al dente.
