Step 1
Boil the 2 eggs in a small pot of water for 8 minutes, then transfer to ice water to cool. Peel and halve them.
Step 2
Cook the 8 oz buckwheat noodles in boiling water until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, and drain well.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk the 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 2 tbsp rice vinegar until the sugar dissolves.
Step 4
Slice the 1 cucumber into thin matchsticks. Divide the noodles between two bowls, pour the sauce over, and toss to coat.
Step 5
Top each bowl with cucumber, 1 halved egg, and sprinkle with the 1 tbsp sesame seeds. Serve cold.
