Somen Noodles
Varieties
Somen is available in several varieties, including a yellowish version, called tamago somen, made with egg yolk.
Preparation, Uses, & Tips
Add noodles a few at a time to boiling water. To prevent noodles from sticking to the bottom of the pan, stir gently until the water returns to a rapid boil. Cook for five to seven minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. Add to soups, or toss with a little sesame oil, minced garlic, and cooked vegetables—serve chilled.
Storing
Store them, unopened, in a cool, dry cupboard for six to eight months.
