Cook the noodles, drain them, and rinse under cold water until completely cool.
Toss the drained noodles with a little of the sesame oil so they do not clump.
Finely shred the cabbage and cut the carrot and cucumber into thin matchsticks.
Whisk the soy sauce, honey, grated ginger and remaining sesame oil into a dressing.
Toss the noodles, vegetables and sliced spring onion together and dress just before eating.
Keep the dressing separate if you are packing this for tomorrow.
