In the absence of sesame oil, you can take ordinary sunflower oil without smell, and replace brown sugar with honey.

4. Now prepare rice "glass" noodles, funchosa. You don't need to cook it. It is enough to brew it with boiling water and leave it under the lid for five minutes. Then rinse the funchosa under cold running water and discard it in a colander so that all the water runs off.

5. Meanwhile, prepare the egg pancakes. To do this, beat two eggs with a whisk until smooth. Add salt to the mixture. Fry two pancakes in a hot dry frying pan. Fry them on both sides. Let the pancakes cool, roll them into a roll and cut into noodles.

6. Mix the pickled vegetables, noodles and egg pancakes in a deep salad bowl. The finished funchosa can be pre-cut into 2-3 pieces if it is too long.
