Japanese Cold Somen Noodles

Craving a light and refreshing chilled noodle dish on a hot summer day? Try my Cold Somen Noodles served with grated ginger, scallion, and a savory soy-based dipping sauce called tsuyu. Optionally, you can add various vegetables and proteins to this cooling dish to make it a more filling meal.
RECIPE: www.justonecookbook.com/somen/
Ingredients:
4 bundles of dried somen noodles
For the Dipping Sauce
¼ cup (60 ml) mentsuyu/tsuyu (concentrated noodle soup base) (for my homemade recipe, click here)
½-1 cup iced water (add only if using concentrated mentsuyu; for the brand I use, the mentsuyu-to-water dilution ratio is 1 to 3; therefore, I use ¾ cup water for ¼ cup mentsuyu concentrate for 2 servings)
For the Garnishes
1 green onion/scallion
1 knob ginger (½ inch, 1.3 cm for 2 servings)
shiso leaves (perilla/ooba) (thinly sliced; optional)
myoga ginger (thinly sliced; optional)
daikon radish (grated; optional)
toasted white sesame seeds (optional)
For the Simmered Shiitake Topping (Optional)
8-10 shiitake mushrooms
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp mirin
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp water (or dashi)

I've been watching your channel since college and my estrangement from family (which has since been resolved through work on both sides!) and I just wanted to say thank you for sharing with us. It can't be easy with everything that's constantly going on, online and in real life, and you're still sharing something so comforting and enriching with us. Its appreciated, and has been for a long time.

Can I use regular spaghetti because in my country I don't think this type of pasta is available

[@justonecookbook]

Hmmm you can. Just slightly different flavor and texture. :)

[@thevillagetroublemaker]

Bruh do you really have to wash the noodles like a piece of cloth?

[@mrtimo3822]

Why you got to slurp so damn loud Jesus Christ

[@shoes7899]

it's what they do in japan, they say slurping it makes it taste better. stuff like table manners is different across different cultures

[@Ngcarson1337]

Have you any island or SEA friends? Pretty common in eastern cultures; dude.

[@ViRrOorR]

Its the japanese way of eating. If you have a problem with it you need to find out why you have that problem.
