Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Bring the stock and shredded ginger to the boil in a large pan, add the noodles, then simmer for 4 mins until tender.

2. 2

   Drain, then cool under cold running water. Mix together the soy, tahini and 2 tbsp water (or more if you need) to make a dressing the consistency of single cream. Toss the cooled noodles and fish with the dressing and cucumber. Scatter with the spring onions and sesame seeds, then drizzle with a little sesame oil, if using.
