Last week was Summer Games Done Quick and I could not stop watching all of the amazing speedruns. I was extremely excited to see Froob’s run of Yakuza: Like a Dragon being shared with the world during the event.

I am always impressed how fast these games can be played with the correct routing and skipping all of the story.

During the Yakuza: Like a Dragon speed run, there is a stop at Survive Bar to get several meals to carry your team through the run. Often, Joon-gi Han is the one responsible for keeping the party healthy while snacking on these items. One of those items is the chilled noodles lunch box. This dish has been on my to-do list since I played the game. It has a lot of pieces that can be prepared ahead of time before you are ready to serve. The only part that you should make right before serving is the noodles. I found that noodles in the refrigerator tend to dry out too much.
