Slurp-Elicious Spinach Fettuccine Salad With Dipping Sauce (Japanese Tsukemen)

• 8 Frozen Shrimp, steamed and chilled, microwaved OK and Leftovers OK
• 1/3 Chicken Breast, steamed and chilled, microwaved OK and Leftovers OK
• 1 Japanese cucumber, cut into matchsticks
• 1 Ripe tomato, cut smallish, but not diced
• 1/4 onion, red, white, or yellow or diced spring onions OK
• 1 cup arugula or rocket
• 200 grams Spinach Fettuccine, how much you think you can eat....
• DIPPING SAUCE:
• 1 cup Chicken Soup, . See Notes on other types of broth.
• Hot Pepper Sauce, other than a salsa-type hot sauce, Chinese is very good
• 1/4 teaspoon Sesame Oil
• 1/2 teaspoon Sesame Seeds
• soy sauce (optional)
• salt (if necessary)

1. Make sure the veggies are cold. Cut the veggies first so everything will come together quickly.
2. Make your dashi broth, see Notes, and cool it. Pour into individual cups or bowls. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
3. Put pasta on individual plates, then put all toppings on the pasta. rnYou can use canned crab, roast beef, or even bologna (cut in matchsticks). Okra, peppers, or mushrooms will also work. I haven't used potatoes because they are a 'starch on pasta', but I think they would taste good.
4. Right before eating add the sesame oil and the hot sauce to individual tastes in the dipping bowls.
5. The soy sauce is optional, my husband enjoys a little more saltiness so he adds about a teaspoon in his cup.
6. Notes. Traditional dashi broth is made with konbu (seaweed) or katsuo (bonito tuna). I used chicken (flakes or bullion OK) because it is a "salad", but I think vegetable stock could work too. Make it salty, because the dip sauce will slide back into the dipping bowl but you want some saltiness to stick to the noodles. and veggies.
7. For lettuce you can use baby leaf or mitsuba, but we like the stronger-flavored leaves, like watercress or shiso. rnrnExperiment with other flavors: if you don't like hot sauce, try spicy mustard or grated ginger instead.
