Asian Noodles Have Become Very Popular Lately.
Asians love noodles as much as rice. The most popular ones are somen, soba, udon, ramen, mung noodles, and rice noodles.Somen noodles are thin Japanese wheat noodles that are typically eaten cold to increase one's appetite during the hot seasons. If somen noodles are colored green, they are typically colored with green tea and called cha somen. Typically it is seasoned with a soy sauce based sauce called tsuyu sauce.
Simple Cold Somen Recipe
Bring a large pot of water to a roiling boil. Prepare the noodles (each bundle is one serving), according to the package directions. Somen water is not used, so you can dump out the water into a colander and immediately run the somen under cool running water, tossing until cool.
Fill 4 large bowls with cold water, and place a few ice cubes in each. Place a quarter of the somen in each bowl and serve with tyusu sauce on the side.
Somen Noodles Are Great For Small Children! These
are very thin noodles like angel hair. Because they are very soft, they
are great noodles for small children. You can break them into smaller
lengths. I can remember growing up eating warm somen noodles instead of
spaghetti noodles because they are so easy to chew.
Soba noodles are very healthful and are made from soba or buckwheat
mixed with wheat flour because buckwheat alone does not have enough
gluten to hold it together. When the noodles are green, again they are
made with green tea. Soba can be eaten hot, in soup, or cold, with dipping sauce, which is called Zaru Soba.
