Somen recipes varies!.!.!. You can make it anyway you like it!

Heres how my family makes it :

===Ingredients===
4 bundles somen (thin wheat noodles)
Small fresh ginger root
One bunch scallions ( If you have! )

===Sauce===
3!.5 ounces mirin
3!.5 ounces soy sauce
14 ounces dashi stock

===Directions===
Heat the mirin in a sauce pan, bring to a boil and add the soy sauce and dashi; bring to a second boil!. Remove from the heat and allow to cool!. This creates a tsuyu, or dipping sauce, in the Kanto style (the area of Eastern Japan around Tokyo)!.

Peel and grate enough ginger and finely chop enough scallions to garnish the noodles!. Whether you like a heavy or light garnish is a matter of personal taste!.

Cook the noodles in plenty of boiling water!. Once cooked, rinse thoroughly in cold water!.
Place some iced water (with chopped ice) in a serving dish, then arrange the noodles on top, garnishing with the shredded ginger and chopped scallions!. Serve in individual bowls!.

Hope that helps!
GOOD LUCK!Www@FoodAQ@Com

just boil the somen until it is al dente - as they say!. just mix some shoyu with some mirin - or buy bottled somen sauce - it's decent!. chop up some green onions, use wasabi paste - and you will have your spicy someni! i like tofu cubes on mine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
