Japanese Somen Noodles
Submitted by: De
In summer time, it tastes yummy cold, and in the winter, prepare with hot water.
1 bunch Somen noodles
(package comes in 5 bunches...can be found in most ethnic aisles of local grocery stores. Buckwheat noodles will work, even whole wheat spaghetti - broken in half)
1/2 cup Memmi noodle soup base (kind of like a strong broth)
1 green onion chopped
Boil noodles according to package. Drain and rinse with cold water. Pour 1/4 of Memmi in cup and fill with cold water to make one cup (or to taste). Place noodles on plate and top with chopped green onion. Must use chopsticks (fun part) and dip noodles into cup of "broth" and slurp it up.
Note: The Memmi noodle soup base is made by Kikkoman and comes in a bottle near the soy sauces.
