   Bring water to a boil and cook the noodles for 7–8 minutes until tender but firm.

   Drain the noodles and rinse under cold running water to stop cooking and cool them down.

   

3. Step 3: Prepare the sauce

   In a small bowl, mix the sesame paste with the seafood-flavored dressing and salt. Adjust the consistency by adding a little water if needed.

   

4. Step 4: Combine noodles and sauce
