    2 eggs
    Pinch salt
    1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
    12 oz (377 g) Chinese wheat noodles or ramen
    2 tsp (10 mL) sesame oil
    8 oz (250 g) ham, julienned
    1 sweet red pepper, very thinly sliced
    1 cup (250 mL) shredded cucumber
    4 cups (1 L) shredded iceberg lettuce
    2 green onions, thinly sliced
    4 tsp (20 mL) toasted sesame seeds
    Sauce:
    2/3 cup (150 mL) chicken stock
    1/3 cup (75 mL) granulated sugar
    1/3 cup (75 mL) rice or cider vinegar
    3 tbsp (50 mL) soy sauce
    1 tbsp (15 mL) grated gingerroot

Preparation:

Sauce: In saucepan, bring stock, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce and ginger to boil; reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Strain and refrigerate until cool. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 3 days.)

Beat together eggs, salt and 1 tsp (5 mL) of the oil. Heat 6-inch (15 cm) nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; brush lightly with some of the remaining oil. Pour in about one-quarter of the egg mixture, tilting pan to spread evenly; cook until top is set, about 30 seconds. Slide out onto cutting board. Repeat with remaining egg mixture to make 4 thin omelettes; stack and cut into fine shreds.

In large pot of boiling salted water, cook noodles until tender but firm, about 5 minutes; drain and chill under cold water. Drain well. In bowl, toss noodles with sesame oil.

Arrange noodles on 4 dinner plates. Attractively top with eggs, ham, red pepper, cucumber and lettuce. Sprinkle with green onions. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate up to 4 hours.) Sprinkle with sauce and sesame seeds.
