In a small nonstick skillet, cook beaten egg over medium heat until set in a thin sheet like an omelette, about 3 minutes; cover during last minute to set the top. Remove from skillet, let cool 1 minute, then roll and thinly slice into strips.
In a small mixing bowl, stir together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, water, grated ginger, sesame oil, hot oil, and toasted sesame seeds. Set dressing aside in the refrigerator to chill.
To serve, place chilled drained noodles in serving bowls. Top the noodle with shrimp, corn, scallion, ham, tomato, crab stick, and sliced egg. Add a dollop of hot Japanese mustard in the middle. Divide dressing into 4 small bowls and serve. To eat, pour dressing on top of the noodles at the table, toss to combine, and enjoy right away.
