Method
Poach the chicken breast in a small pan of gently simmering water for 12 minutes until cooked through and a meat thermometer reads 74°C at the thickest point, then cool and shred into thin strips.
Beat the eggs and cook in a lightly oiled frying pan as a thin, unfolded crepe for 2 minutes on each side, then cool and slice into thin strips.
Whisk the soy sauce, rice vinegar, caster sugar and sesame oil together in a small bowl to make the dressing.
Cook the ramen noodles in boiling water according to the packet instructions, then drain and rinse under cold running water until fully chilled.
Divide the chilled noodles between plates and arrange the shredded chicken, egg strips, cucumber and carrot on top in neat rows.
Drizzle with the dressing and scatter with toasted sesame seeds to serve.
