"Niboshi", dried sardines : 20g
"Konbu", dried seaweed : 10cm
Water : 2 cups (360cc)
Soy sause : 2 cups (360cc)

▼Points of Boiling
Boil Somen with plenty of hot water.
Cover with the lid and turn off the stove when the water wells up again.
Don't boil too long.
Please wait for about 3~5 minutes.
Tighten the noodle with cold water and some ice.
Get rid of the sliminess well.
▼Points of Making "Mentsusyu"
When you eat "Mentsuyu", thin it down with water.
Soak "Niboshi" and "Konbu" in water for an hour.
Don't boil it too much.
For the soup of Somen, the water used for boiling bamboo shoots goes well.
Just before starting up boiling, turn off the heat.
Once it's cooled, keep it in the fridge.

I love how she waived the hand! 😊 watching her cooking is so peaceful. I just found your channel but I subscribed immediately. Well done! 😊

Perfect! I accidentally grabbed these instead of lo mein noodles and was having trouble cooking them because they would get sticky and break apart! Thanks!

Hello! Somen is so good in the summer! I wish this noodle will be known in the world!

I love how simple and to the point it is! Thank you so much! I couldn’t find any beginner somen videos (I burnt my last attempt at fresh ramen, and didn’t want to do that with somen this time) so I’m glad to find this video :D
