From the Test Kitchen

For this take on hiyashi chuka—a style of chilled ramen often served during the summer in Japan—fresh noodles are dressed with a touch of soy sauce and furikake. We’re serving them piled high with a bevy of summer produce and shredded chicken tossed in a sauce of savory miso paste, sweet mirin, and more.
