For hard boiled eggs, boil for 9-10 minutes. After they have boiled, transfer to an ice bath to cool completely. Crack and peel them. Slice them into half with a sharp paring knife. Set aside.
- Julienne the cucumbers and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame seeds, sesame oil, sugar, minced garlic and rice vinegar. Mix in the cold noodles with tongs or clean hands.
- Finally, transfer seasoned noodles into each serving bowl. Place cucumber slices over top along with sliced eggs. Enjoy!
