According to Wikipedia, Sōmen (素麺) are very thin, white Japanese noodles made of wheat flour. The noodles are usually served cold. My son loves Udon Noodles. These are different than Udon. Sōmen is stretched Udon is cut when making the noodles.
Broth Ingredients
1 cup water
1 cup nama shoyu
2 T dried dulse
1 T dried wakame
1/4 cup brown rice vinegar
2 T agave
1 T fresh lime juice
First 4 ingredients were blended until smooth. I strained them and added the remaining ingredients.
I then added the somen.
Somen Ingredients
2 cups young thai coconut
2 T black sesame seeds
1 1/2 t shichimi spice
2 T finely sliced scallion
I made the thai coconut meat very thin to resemble “noodles”. I then sprinkled the remaining ingredients over the somen and broth.
This meal was too salty for me, although the presentation made my mouth water.
We found Sabby his iPad. It’s been a long day, but now we are home and setting up the iPad so he can try out all the apps and Netflix. He is super excited!
Here is the Sweet Pepper Soup:
