Somen is perfect refreshing food for hot and humid summer season :)
Sōmen (素麺) is very thin Japanese noodles made of wheat flour. The noodles are usually served cold in summer with a dashi flavored tasty dipping sauce called Mentsuyu (めんつゆ).
Kids requested me to make Edamame and Corn Nagashi Somen (Flowing Somen). Edamame and corn were pretty easy to catch and eat 😉 Kids enjoyed it very much 👍

((Somen Dipping Sauce))
I used this Mentsuyu (noodle soup base) btw: ヤマサ ぱぱっとちゃんと これ！うま！！つゆ https://amzn.to/3xOqyZq
Dilute with water as instructed on its package.
((Somen Noodles))
Boil water in a large pot. Add dried Somen noodles in boiling water and gently stir noodles with chopsticks. Cook Somen noodles according to your package (mine was 2 min). Drain the noodles in a strainer and rinse the noodles with hands under running water.
NOTE: You can put about 100g (usually 2 bundles) of Somen noodles in the machine or the noodles won't flow.
((Somen Dipping Sauce from scratch))
* 300ml Dashi broth (using packaged dashi powder saves time)
* 4 tbsp. Mirin (sweet Sake)
* 4 tbsp. soy sauce
In a pot, bring Dashi broth, Mirin, and soy sauce to a boil. You can also microwave until it comes to a boil. Cool in the fridge until ready to serve.
