Chill. In a pot of boiling water, heat noodles till a little extra cooked than al dente (use the time included upon the package directions). Tip off the liquid well, next toss using the neutral oil so this noodles don’t stick to every other. Spread noodles out in one thin layer on a tray and chill till fully chilled, around 1 hour. Mix the sesame paste with the warm water till there are no lumps left while the noodles are chilling. Mix in soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, sugar, plus seasoning oil till well mixed. Toss the chilled noodles with around 6 tablespoons (90ml) of the vinaigrette till well coated. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, cucumbers, spring onions, and chili garlic sauce (if using), and serve.
