Method

  1. 1 Boil the pasta for 2 minutes longer than instructed to ensure it's completely soft.
  2. 2 Cook them until very soft, not al dente; Japanese pasta salad needs soft noodles to absorb the mayonnaise.
  3. 3 Rinse the pasta with cold water, then pour vinegar over it while it's still warm.
  4. 4 Toss the cucumbers with salt for 10 minutes and blanch the shredded carrots for 3 minutes, then drain.
  5. 5 Mix mayonnaise with a little milk to make the sauce thinner so it coats the pasta evenly.
  6. 6 Mix everything together with ham sticks and sweet corn, then refrigerate for 1 hour.
