Step 1
Prepare a large bowl of cold water.
Step 2
Cook the noodles according to the instructions. Don't take the cooking time indicated on the packet as gospel though - mine required only 3 minutes of cooking, whilst the packet stated 4-5 minutes. Also be sure to stir them gently a few times during cooking to prevent clumping.
Step 3
Drain the noodles - save a tablespoon of cooking water - and refresh them under a cold tap. Then quickly plunge them into a bowl with cold water. Agitate them a bit with your hands to stop them from sticking to each other. Once drained, stir a teaspoon of sesame oil through them.
Step 4
Cut the zucchini into 3 equal segments and then place each piece on a chopping board, cut side down, and cut each piece into 6 long wedges.
Step 5
Heat up a griddle pan. Once hot, brush it with a little bit of neutral tasting oil and place the zucchini pieces on it, cut side down.
Step 6
Grill for 4-5 minutes and then turn to the other side. Grill until charred on both sides. Chop into bite size pieces.
Step 7
Mix all the dressing ingredients together, adjusting the level of spiciness to taste. Add 1 tbsp of noodle cooking water.
Step 8
Place the zucchini, edamame, radishes, spring onions and cold noodles in a bowl and stir the dressing through.
Step 9
Divide the noodles between two bowls. Top with a clump of pickled ginger strands and black sesame seeds.
