Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 1/4 cup mentsuyu (noodle soup base) mixed with 3/4 cup ice cold water. (Or make mentsuyu from scratch using the dipping sauce from this soba recipe) 
  • 200 grams somen noodles
  • 2 scallions, finely chopped
  • 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, peeled and grated
  • Ice cubes

Instruction

  • Divide the mentsuyu into two dipping bowls and put them in the fridge to keep them cold.
  • Bring a pot of water to boil. Add somen noodles and boil according to instructions on the package (usually about 2 minutes). Drain and rinse the cooked noodles under cold water until the noodles are cold.
  • Grab two shallow bowls and place a few ice cubes in each one of them with about 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup water. Add the somen noodles to the bowl.
  • Serve with the dipping sauce on the side. Add chopped scallions and grated ginger to the dipping sauce. Dip each bite of noodles in the mentsuyu and slurp away!
