1
Boil noodles until tender. Rinse under cold water to stop the cooking and give them that refreshing, chewy texture.

Thinly slice or julienne cucumber. Pat dry with a paper towel to keep the salad from getting watery when mixed.
3
In a bowl, mix chili crisp, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Adjust spice level to taste.
4
In a large bowl, combine noodles and cucumber. Pour over the chili crisp sauce and toss until well coated.
