Steps

  1. Bring 500ml of water to a boil in a pot. Add sweet potato starch noodles and cook for 6-8 minutes or until they become translucent and tender.
  2. While the noodles are cooking, prepare an ice bath in a bowl by filling it with cold water and ice cubes.
  3. Once the noodles are cooked, drain them and immediately transfer them to the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for 5 minutes, then drain again and set aside.
  4. In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and add the shrimp and oysters. Cook for 2-3 minutes until shrimp are pink and oysters are just cooked. Remove and set aside.
  5. In a bowl, mix sesame oil, gluten-free soy sauce, vinegar, Korean red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt to create the dressing.
  6. In serving bowls, divide the cold noodles and top with cooked shrimp, oysters, shredded lettuce, julienned cucumber, and pickled daikon radish.
  7. Drizzle the dressing over the top and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately with additional ice cubes if desired.
